Dana Fuchs

Dana Fuchs is one of the fiercest voices in modern-day roots music. She's equal parts soul singer and bluesy belter, funneling her own story into the amplified anthems and haunting ballads that fill albums like “Bliss Avenue” and “Love Lives On.” With her newest project, “Borrowed Time,” she digs deep into her southern rock upbringing, saluting the loud, guitar-driven sounds that sound-tracked her childhood years in rural Wildwood, Florida.
The new album gazes outward, replacing the autobiographical spirit of previous records with tracks that follow other characters' paths. To find a musical backdrop for those stories about beauty, suffering, and humanity, Fuchs let go of the reins and hired an outside producer for the first time. She found a "walking encyclopedia of all genres of music" in producer Bobby Harlow, who encouraged her to focus not on the genre-bending mix of influences that permeated her earlier work, but on the rock & roll that first captivated her attention back in the Bible Belt.
In addition to fronting her own blues rock band, Dana Fuchs portrayed Janis Joplin on Broadway in 'Love, Janis' and Sadie in the highly acclaimed film 'Across the Universe.' She's a Jagger blues jammer, Otis soul sister, juke joint Janis and Sexy Sadie all rolled into one passionate performer and world class singer songwriter. Dana's live show is a hit year after year on our stage.
