"As seen and heard in the Golden Globe nominated Across The Universe
"
Dana Fuchs is a phenomenon, a singer whose mesmerizing voice and presence have led critics to compare her to rock legends from Janis to Jagger. Perhaps Stereophile said it best: “Imagine a sultry, more emotive Janis Joplin, backed by a higher-energy version of the late-'60s Rolling Stones . . . Rock 'n’ Roll doesn’t get any better.” The youngest of six children, Dana was raised in rural Florida surrounded by rock, funk, and gospel music--at the age of 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. At 16 she was fronting a popular local band at a roadside Holiday Inn. Arriving in New York City alone and broke at 19, Dana soon found herself down and out--but within a year she was sharing stages with the likes of James Cotton and Taj Mahal. Teaming with guitarist Jon Diamond, she began to build a group of powerful original songs that synthesize influences from the likes of Etta James, Otis Redding, Bobby Bland, Aretha Franklin, and Mavis Staples into something personal and new. After singing a few bars of "Piece of My Heart," she was offered the role of Janis Joplin in the Broadway show "Love, Janis" on the spot. Dana Fuchs is a blues-rock sensation that's sweeping the nation!
