âDonna Greene is a dangerous woman. She makes you fall in love with her without ever having met her... there's so much emotion in her voice.â

The incredible Donna Greene has been referred to as, âThe Last of the Red Hot Mamasâ and âThe Dominatrix of the Blues.â She came out of nowhere, looking like she just stepped off a train in 1940, walked into a bar and started singing the blues. Her amazing voice goes from a sultry whisper to a sizzling howl of pain. She has a vintage flair that immediately recalls the glamour of the 1940âs and draws her audiences in with her sexy roadhouse style. She gets things rocking.

Donna has been compared to a wide range of vocalistsâ¦Billie Holiday to Dinah Washington, Peggy Lee to Etta James to Eva Cassidy to Bonnie Raittâ¦but her style is her own and her voice is unlike anyone elseâs. She takes classic songs you may have heard a million times and shows you something about them that makes you realize that, until then, you hadnât really âheardâ them.

Ms. Greene has been lauded in both the jazz and blues scenes for her sensuous personality and roadhouse energy that pulls the audience in and keeps them wanting more. Joining her are the Roadhouse Daddies led by Greg âSnoots Noodlemyerâ Loeb, whose bio is a mile long. Heâs traveled the world and played with some amazing and well-known musicians. Snoots and Donna Greene are joined by some of the top veterans in the music world.

âThe hearty-voiced and expressively bluesy Donna Greene, âLady Blue,â and her Roadhouse Daddies are a barrel of fun, much in the same vein as the popular, contemporaneous Lavay Smith and Her Red Hot Skillet Lickers. Greeneâs small combo music, as Smithâs, is a throwback to an era (the Great Depression and World War II) when one often looked for joyful diversions from everyday life where one could find them. Music of the time â via radio, records as well as in-person performances â played a large role in serving that purpose. Reflectively so, if you enjoy the vocal styles of Billie Holiday, Peggy Lee and the later-day Etta James, you are bound to find an affinity in that of Greene with her Roadhouse Daddies.â Russell Arthur Roberts, Jazz Journalist
