Event Description
Part of the Speakeasy Sessions collection
Amazing US Jazz and Soul singer performs live with her trio in the unique, beautiful and intimate surroundings of Camden Recording Studios.
Camden Recording Studios in association with Dingle Distillery are proud to announce the next concert in a very special series of concerts.
The Speakeasy Sessions features some of the worlds best jazz and blues artists in the unique, intimate and beautiful surroundings of Camden Recording Studios in Dublin. This is a very special opportunity to get up close and personal with some of the innovators and legends of the jazz and blues scene in a setting that will provide a unique experience for the listener and performer alike.
Following on from previous artists Larry Goldings, Jon Cleary, Trio Grande and Jo Lawry will be the amazing US jazz and soul singer Dana Masters.
Dana was born and raised in the deep south of the United States by family who ushered in and were deeply involved with the Civil Rights Movement of the 50’s and 60’s. Granddaughter of a celebrated Civil Rights Activist, Dana believes deeply that music can tell human stories with such humility and honesty that it transcends divisions.
In 2008 Dana married an Irishman, taking her from Los Angeles to Northern Ireland. It was here Dana began a long collaboration working with Van Morrison and was catapulted into the Jazz scene, re-igniting her appetite for the expression, freedom and musicianship that jazz carried.
Infused with the music she grew up on (soul, funk, r&b and gospel), Dana’s sound celebrates the roots, freedom and diversity of improvised music.
Joining Dana will be the Cian Boylan piano trio featuring Darren Beckett on drums and Dave Redmond on double bass.
“Dana’s wide-ranging musical influences are evident through her own unique sound. Her vocal dexterity spaces the spectrum from deeply meditative to soaring, soulful resonant highs“
Van Morrison
“A jazz singer of real note… will long be remembered for the exceptional quality of her voice.“
