Dayna Kurtz (Deirdra McGaw)A Dayna Life
Guest host Anthony DeCurtis welcomes two inventive singer-songwriters who rise above the pack. Amos Lee is a native Philadelphian whose musical style draws influence from several American traditions, from the soul of Bill Withers to the folk sound of John Prine and Dave Van Ronk. He’s just signed with Blue Note Records, after having been the opening act on Norah Jones's European tour. We get a taste of what critics call his "sly, easygoing voice." Also on the show is New Jersey singer Dayna Kurtz. Her music is not easy to categorize (inspired by everyone from Ray Charles and Tom Waits to Nina Simone and Prince) but it’s never dull. Her new CD features a duet with singer Norah Jones and a performance by the string quartet Ethel.
