In January this year Dee Ann was invited by Phil Friendly to sing along with him on Jackson at Radio Rijnmond.
In April the whole band was invited to Megastad FM, where they played some live songs.
On December 1st, 2011 Dee Ann was interviewed by Nico Bravenboer on his radioshow, BLUEZY Radio Ridderkerk
Dee: ”It’s a studio with three studio booths. They have been broadcasting for about 20 years now. Nico has always done his Blues show and he is also the organiser of the annual bluesfestival in Ridderkerk http://www.sbrr.nl/ and he is the winner of the Keeping The blues alive Award 2010.
We had a blast. We laughed our asses off! But I also had the chance to talk about how I started playing the piano in several bands and ended up singing with The Nightcaptains. Also introducing my new band Dee’s Honeytones. We just finished the demo. So some Rockabilly songs of Dee Ann and The Nightcaptains were played and two bluezy songs of Dee’s Honeytones. Nico called me a bitch but that was because he didn’t expect to be laughing so hard for one hour. Hahaha. It was really fun.”

Sunday August 14th, I was just sitting and reading in my little hideaway in the woods when I got a call that I had to come home quickly to get prepared for a last minute gig in Belgium. A band cancelled. So we went and did save the day of a very cool birthday party at a beautiful Ranch like home with a barn like room where we played. The guest were enthousiastic about our music and we were again happy to play our music, this time for the Belgians for the first time. I think the Belgians will see us more often…
At the Route 55 Rock and Roll Festival Dee Ann and the Nightcaptains received the Andy Tielman award for “keeping Rock and Roll, especially Rockabilly alive. Mr. Tielman believes this act has a great future and handed out this award to stimulate their work.”
We are proud and honored to receive this award in his name.
