I'm a singer/songwriter currently living in New Orleans. I moved to this amazing city in 2005 after having lived in various parts of the country. I've been singing and playing any instrument I could get my hands on since I was 6 years old, starting as a classical pianist, then cellist and from there percussionist/melodic percussionist to finally picking up the guitar. My real passion is for Blues, Motown, Rock and well everything else. As long as it has some soul to it, in whatever shape or form...I'm happy.
I've recently recorded an EP with Malcolm Burn titled, "Halfway Home." It's something I'm incredibly proud of and hope you enjoy it as well. You can find it on itunes, cdbaby, BuyMusic, Napster, GreatIndieMusic and many more.

DANA, I AM HONORED BY THE FACT YOU HAVE TAKEN YOUR TIME TO STOP BY. I LOVE NEW OLEANS, MY WIFE HAS FAMILY THERE. IT'S A BEAUTIFUL PLACE, I THINK. I LISTENED TO YOUR MUSIC AND IT MADE ME FEEL LIKE A SHOT OF KENTUCKY BOURBON, VERY SMOOTH. I THINK YOU ARE VERY COOL, VERY COOL. THANK YOU AGAIN SWEET SENORITA, MUCH LOVE AND HAPPINESS YOUR WAY, ALWAYS. SWL
Hi Dana, thank you very much. Wonderful lyrical and melodic songs here. Oh, yes, Take Me Home...that's my favorite. All best wishes, peace and love. LB
Please make plans to come out to the Howlin' Wolf (New Orleans) for a show benefitting the American Diabetes Association on Saturday June 6. The show will be featuring 3rd echo, Christian Serpas & Ghost Town, and Sticky Wig. All the money from the door will go to ADA, whose mission is to treat, prevent, and find a cure for diabetes. Help us spread the word, and we'll see you at the Wolf!
