New CD Release
Bang at the Door
Donna released a new CD, Bang at the Door, including 11 original songs and 3 covers!
“The music highlights a musical palette that flows from acoustic blues through gospel, jazz to the electric Chicago blues style, with nods to New Orleans and country music influences. It is the first of her three releases to feature her heartfelt songwriting, focusing on the joys, tribulations, and problems that are part of the human experience.”
