The Band

Deanna Larson – Lead vocals

Deanna has been singing professionally in a variety of bands for 30 years, using her talents to cover Country, Rock-n-Roll, R&B, and Pop. Her influences range from Olivia Newton John to Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac to Prince. The highlight of Deanna’s career was performing in New York City, at the infamous Night of a Thousand Stevie’s – Tribute to Stevie Nicks in 2019. For her first performance at the 29^th annual NOTS, Deanna received outstanding reviews and shined as one of the debut performers, which you can view here. Deanna was asked to return for the 30th anniversary of NOTS the following year in NYC performing on Broadway at the beautiful Sony Hall with another well received performance. This year she made her debut at the NOTS in New Orleans October 2023!

Loretta Erickson – Lead Vocals

Loretta’s career as a singer and songwriter began at age 17 in Boulder, Colorado recording and performing with various original rock projects.  In her mid 20’s, she became increasingly influenced by soul and blues artists, and focused her passions on singing rhythm and blues, fronting bands in the Denver area, as well as in Alaska. In 2019, after reconnecting for a reunion show of their college band, Chris Fischer and Loretta established Swamp Molly, a blues-based improvisational rock band, and soon after joined Crystal Visions. A lifelong fan of Fleetwood Mac, Loretta jumped at the chance for this opportunity to cover the vocals of Christine Mc Vie with the vibrant and talented Deanna Larson.

Chris Fischer – Lead Vocals and Keys

Chris Fischer’s love of music began in San Francisco. Growing up in the Bay Area and listening to San Francisco’s legendary bands inspired him to begin playing piano and later keyboards from a young age. In 1991 he relocated to Boulder, Colorado to study at the University of Colorado. After graduating with a degree in music he was fortunate to hone his skills playing and touring with legendary Chicago drummer and co-founder Danny Seraphine from 1996-1998. It was his tenure with Seraphine that helped propel his professional music career. In 1998 he founded Funkiphino (Funk-If-I-Know). Now in its 22nd year, Funkiphino is a consistent top draw in the Rocky Mountain Region and can been seen performing regularly at music festivals, society events, fundraisers, and venues. Chris and Crystal Visions vocalist Loretta Erickson can also be seen performing with their blues based improvisational rock band Swamp Molly. Fleetwood Mac has always been one of Chris’ favorite bands and he is thrilled with the opportunity to perform these great songs with Crystal Visions playing keyboards and covering Lindsay Buckingham’s vocal parts.  

Donny Dark – Guitar

Guitarist Donny Dark, aka Don Millan, is originally from Santiago Chile.  Moving to the USA at the tender age of three, the music of Elvis, Chubby Checker and later the Beatles inspired Donny to take up the guitar.  Beginning with nightclubs at age 15, he continues delivering his searing guitar work throughout Denver and the Front Range.
