Dana Fuchs (New Jersey 1976) possesses a formidable vocal power. It’s not just about what you hear, but about what she conveys and makes the listener feel, shared emotion, feeling under the skin. She grew up immersed in Led Zeppelin and The Rolling Stones, in blues and country music, in the honesty of soul icons, and in all music whose roots grow from the heart. Everything about Dana is real and authentic, her stage presence alone radiates the ferocity of an artist completely devoted to singing almost to the point of collapse , a paradigmatic example of the uncompromising musician. Dana Fuchs surrendered herself to Etta James, and together with Jon Diamond she founded the band in the early 2000s, and they remain together to this day. With nine albums and a constant presence on the American and European touring circuits, the Dana Fuchs Band unquestionably deserves to be considered among the most genuine and compelling contemporary bands, even if the recognition they have received so far has not been what they undoubtedly deserve.
