Over the past two decades, internationally lauded “songwriter’s songwriter” Dayna Kurtz has intermittently dived into her crate digger’s curated repertoire of largely obscure soul and R&B gems, as well as penned originals designed to sound as though they’d been unearthed from the same record hound’s favorite crypt, all caressed with the rich, rough and smoky vocals the Washington Post once described as a “…deep hued garnet of lifeblood and beauty.”
Now living in New Orleans, she seems to have found the natural habitat in which she can finally double down on her secret calling, fronting Lulu and the Broadsides with local legendary bassist James Singleton (Irma Thomas, James Booker, Ruth Brown, Chet Baker), drummer Carlo Nuccio (Dr. John, Emmylou Harris), guitarist Robert Maché (Continental Drifters, Steve Wynn) and keyboardist Glenn Hartman (New Orleans Klezmer All-Stars, David Lindley, Anders Osborne), slinging made-for-dancing-and-romancing sets of rhythm and blues the way it was best done back in the day – smart, loose, and more than a little dirty.
