  • Bio

    .............. ....Born and raised in Chicago, Donny is a well known and respected performing musician and recording artist. As well as his musical studies at the University of Illinois, he credits his real musical education as being the lessons he learned from observing and playing in bands with the “old masters”; in this case the wealth of blues and jazz greats that have lived and worked in Chicago. .. .. Over the years Donny has played in and been a key creative force in many fine bands. His Chicago blues expertise led him to a 3-year stint with guitar great Buddy Guy. More recently, he has played such bands as the legendary Floyd McDaniel and the Blues Swingers, and was an original member of the breakthrough Chicago swing band The Mighty Blue Kings. .. .. As player and singer, what makes him particularly unique is his rare versatility, moving easily, but with a well-earned authenticity, from blues, to jazz, to swing, to standards. An honest, soulful feel, garnered from his extensive Chicago Blues upbringing, is characteristic of his playing and singing. He is also a harmonica player of note, know for his rich tone and fluid single-note lines. .. .. Donny..s extensive touring experience has led him across the United States, as well as to Canada, Europe, and South America, playing at clubs, concert halls, and various blues and jazz festivals. As a result, he has played on stage with such luminaries as Carlos Santana, Ron Wood of the Rolling Stones, and the late blues great Stevie Ray Vaughan, to name a few. .. ..
