Donna Greene & The Roadhouse Daddies Jazz Band from Santa Barbara, CA

The remarkable Donna Greene is that rare singer who can tear open a song with intelligence, passion and humor until she owns it completely. She brings her huge heart, voice and style to her eclectic repertoire of feisty blues, smoky jazz and down and dirty R&B. She has the range of Eva Cassidy, the grit of Etta James and the sly phrasing of Billie Holiday. With a CD that is receiving rave reviews and being played all over the world (KJAZZ, BBC, PBS 106-7FM), this band can be tailored to perfectly match your event... from a duo act to a 7-piece band with horns. Having played for a wide variety of events from weddings and private parties to festivals, this band will be the perfect entertainment to provide classy sophistication and/or a fun, memorable event that your guests will love and thank you for! Donna works and records with some of the top veterans in the music world, including Jeff Elliott on trumpet and horn arrangements (Les McCann, Airto and Flora Purim), Vince Denham on sax (Michael McDonald, Elton John, Aaron Neville), creative genius John Douglas on piano and song arrangements (Pointer Sisters, Aretha Franklin), producer and multi-intrumentalist Jack Lee (Tracy Nelson, Earl Scruggs), and guitarist and CD producer Greg "Snoots Noodlemyer" Loeb. Also Sinclair Lott on drums (Frank Zappa, Freddie Hubbard), and Kevin Winard on drums or percussion (Sergio Mendes, Steve Tyrell), Jon Crosse on saxes, clarinet, trumpet and flute (Paul Anka), Juan Pablo Perez on upright or electric bass, Ruben Martinez on flute and bass, Rene Martinez on drums, Rob Hardt on sax and many more.
