I discovered music as a young girl.... * I began playing the piano at the age of six and not too far after that I come across roots music… * I began playing professionally around the age of twelve and haven’t looked back since! Now I have expanded my playing and singing style to include 40’s and 50’s jump blues, west coast swing, and even a little bit of soul jazz... * I try to bring spontaneity to every performance I give…. Every show is a chance to express myself... * I was nominated for a San Diego Music Award for best blues artist in 2008.… I can only hope to continue to grow musically and spiritually with each passing year. I hope to have a true sense for the art of music and to bring joy to the people who are listening... **
Amazing! I want Cds by Taryn Donath! Somebody gives me Cds by Taryn Donath! Lovely. Great voice, great hands (with that left hand you do not miss a bass player!), great interpretation. Jump blues, yes, but non only. Similar music choices sometimes lead other artists to mere entertainment: you do entertain but there's much more in your music, which is deep, soulful, intense. The work of the drummer is also wonderful, tasteful; great touch and finesse. You Excellent, Taryn: it's always matter of details. Applause.
Hello Ms. Donath I am so missing you and will be out there for a visit possibly around my birthday in Feb. Call me sometime so we can catch up and make some fun plans for us... It's gonna be my 30th!

yo, I'm headed up to Cafe Boogaloo tonight to stir it up a taste. Wish you could be there to add that sparkle, but it's the eleventh hour on that and far too late. You sure look cool in all these phots thank you for sharing... hey that last one wassn't yu it was some fine 40's bathing beauty, why not take some photos like that? OK, gotta go if I'm gonna get some o' that fine food they th'owin' down for us. I'm in Canada next week, but then back for the last week of June... hope I see and hear you soon. I'll be back in Europe most of July as well. Yo'boy... James

Girl you really rocked Doheny!! It was great a great show just wish it could've lasted longer. Maybe someday you'll make it back up to the South Bay, if you do we'll be there. We might even make it down to your neck of the wood sometime.
Well you better get right Miss Lady, ain't gonna be no liars in Hell, no gamblers or sinners at the big wrap-party, when night fell. The right time comes when the time is right, but it's about who's left at the end. Two wrongs don't make a left, except at the right end of the road. The right time comes when the funkometer is pegged and everybody's carryin' a load. Funky is as funky does, so the jive masters say, you can fool around by moonlight but don't let it see the light of day. Sun deamon, oh sun deamon, what it's all about... can anybody play??? Say it all depends on the angle of which a way... that is which a way it came to lay. Ain't no gamblers ridin' this train, ain't no gamblers ridin' ... ain't no late trains today, like the old conductor cried, "Ain't no late trains today, nor any body who's a dyin'!" Now pick up! Love, Osgood P. Finklestein III
Well, after all... crack-ups are the speciality of the house! Gal, you better be behavin' ... don't make me come down there! Sure, I'd have to swim those first 3000 miles, but don't forget that next 3000 miles would just be a walk! James
ooooowwwweeeeee, that sound like a sho-nuff parddddy awwwright. I'll be there June 4th soon as I get off that plane. Nathan gets here tomorrow to do several shows with me and Gene Taylor, then me & Nathan go up to Denmark to hang with another of our clients in Copenhagen. We're gonna do a few more festival dates in Swedena & Denmark... Ben's gonna come in and they will do some duo gigs while I do some more festivals with our client's band backing me.... I tell you it's just one big stinkin' mess all the time. Crank that lemonaide up baby, old uncle Jim is on teh prowl. Last time I saw Anthony was at that barking dog in Carlsbad, you was workin' 88 with cousin Billyboy and a damn fly landed on the back of his head and slipped down to the floor... that child has got some fine slick hair off on his-seff, uh huh, yes he do y'all. Awright, it's 2:56 over here and Gene ran out of popcorn and whiskey, so I'm gonna put the old man to bed. Icepick
Child... if I wasn't in Amsterdam I'm demand yu step in heaah and hug ma-damn-neck and give me some sugar, but since it woud be such a mess from there I'll look over it this stime. Awwwright girl, please stay well and I'll see you when I get home. I'll be home most of June. LoveXXXOOO James
