Deb Talan is an American singer-songwriter, often referred to as an intellectual pop-folk musician. Born in Western Massachusetts, Talan attended Brown University before moving to Oregon, where she was a member of Hummingfish, a Portland band, for six years. Currently, she resides in Topanga, California with her musical partner Steve Tannen, together forming The Weepies.

Some of Talan's recurring lyrical motifs include celestial objects, nature, and various historical figures (e.g., Marc Chagall in "Painting By Chagall," Amelia Earhart in "Thinking Amelia," and Vincent van Gogh in "Vincent").

Jonathan Lethem’s novel Motherless Brooklyn inspired Deb Talan to write Tell Your Story Walking. This song appears on the 2002 album Songs Inspired by Literature (Chapter One), a benefit of the organization Artists for Literacy. Tell Your Story Walking was the winner of Artists for Literacy’s 2002 songwriting contest.
