DAYNA KURTZ

Event information

See www.electroacousticclub.com for more information.

DAYNA KURTZ spent the better part of a decade touring solo across the back roads of America, selling CD's out of her trunk. Along the way, she opened shows for the likes of Richie Havens (who became a fan and lent guest vocals to her debut studio album, Postcards from Downtown). SInce becoming part of the New York music scene, has been invited to open up for Rufus Wainwright, Antony & the Johnsons, and Keren Ann. Additionally, Dayna has won over fellow "Living Room" habitué Norah Jones, who sings a duet with Dayna on "I Got It Bad" (From Beautiful Yesterday). Outside of her new hometown, Richard Thompson invited Dayna to open up for a coast-to-coast nationwide tour.

"Dayna Kurtz is the kind of artist who inspires wild-eyed zealotry among her fans... whose whiskeyed, determined alto often earns her comparisons with Nina Simone.. her songs, which straddle a difficult space between jazz, rock, and folk, are pure poetry." ALL MUSIC

Dayna Kurtz - singing is deep and dramatic, at times hair-raisingly intense, on songs that touch on folk, alt-rock, classic crooner pop, and even cabaret jazz. Her strong, soulful guitar work underpins the arrangements... Those drawn to the dark shades of Tom Waits, Chris Whitley, and Amy Ray will find much to admire in her music. - LAST FM
