Description

“IT DOESN’T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS . . . SHE’S THE REAL MCCOY.” —TONY BENNETT Donna Byrne has been invited by none other than Tony Bennett to open several of his shows both in the U.S. and abroad, including a concert at Royal Albert Hall in London. Donna has appeared on Sunday Open House, has won “Best of Boston Best Jazz Vocals,” and has been nominated multiple times for Boston Music Awards. On Sunday, Aug. 14, you can see her up-close and personal at Maudslay Arts Center. Donna Byrne’s powerful voice, energetic personality, and life experiences give her music an almost spiritual feel, a soft and subtle charge that has brought admirations from jazz fans and the top artists in the industry. Jazz Times: “Donna Byrne (is) one of the best singers currently on the scene, one who approaches her lyrics with both intelligence and swinging time, and without distorting syllabic emphasis or resorting to stagy histrionics to get her meaning across.” Cadence: “Peoples! Heads up! Pay attention! This is one fine Jazz Vocalist!!” Jazz Journal International, London, wrote: “An American singer with class and commitment … a very good example of the genre.” Jersey Jazz said: “Donna Byrne has everything a good singer needs … the voice, the control, the comprehension … She travels comfortably through a wide vocal range, with phrasing and inflection that extract all the meaning from the lyrics.”
