Dana
Fuchs er eit fyrverkeri på scenen. Hennar stemme er fantastisk og
ho gjer alt under konsertane. I fjor hadde ho to
fantastiske konsertar på Notodden. På kort tid har har ho blitt
svært populær. Ho er blitt samanlika med rocke- og bluesstjerner frå Janis
Joplin til Mick Jagger via Bonnie Raitt. Hennar siste CD “Love
To Beg” har fått strålande omtale i musikkmedia og ho blir m.a.
samanlikna med Pattie Smith, dronninga av punk. Dana si
framstilling av “Sadie” i Sony Pictures kritikarroste film “Across
The Universe” har gjort henne kjent hos eit stort publikum verda
over. Vi ser verkeleg fram til hennar konsert i Skånevik i sommar.
Frå hennar
biografi:
Dana Fuchs is a phenomenon, a singer whose mesmerizing voice and presence
has led critics to compare her to Rock Legends from Janis to Jagger.
Dana’s portrayal of “Sadie” in Sony Pictures’ highly acclaimed film
Across the Universe has exposed her considerable talents to a wider,
international audience.
Dana and her band spent time in 2010 successfully harnessing the
energy & power of her live show in the studio for their new album,
Love To Beg (Ruf Records), released April 2011. “I’m really excited
about the new material and the energy we captured in the studio,”
says Dana. “Jon and I wrote most of the tunes while touring for
pretty much the past year and we feel this new album really captures
all of our influences in a sincere and powerful way.”
Since then, Dana has been touring the globe non-stop bringing her
high energy “Rock & Roll Church of Love” to audiences far and wide.
Love To Beg is a combination of Rock, Soul, Gospel and Blues that
captures the visceral energy she brings to the stage every night.
“Honestly, we recorded this collection of songs for ourselves and
our fans,” says Dana. “We weren’t thinking about having a 3-minute
song with ‘hooks’ or worrying about the often dark nature of the
lyrics. We just trusted our own musical instincts and let it rip. I
can’t wait for the world to hear the new CD and I can’t wait to
bring it to life onstage.”
But Dana has been honing her craft and creating vibrant music from
an early age . . . .
The youngest of six musical children, Dana was raised in a small
town in rural Florida surrounded by music – her older siblings’ band
playing classic rock in the garage, Ray Charles and Hank Williams on
her parents’ turntable and a big dose of 70’s and 80’s funk at
school. At age 12, she joined the First Baptist Gospel Choir and was
singing, shouting and praising the lord every week in a small black
church on the outskirts of town. “The best advice I ever got was
from a matronly African American woman who told me to just let ‘Mama
Music’ take over. I felt inspired, liberated and scared!”
