Dayna Kurtz is a hidden gem. Not so hidden in the Netherlands, though, where she has been a star for years. So what do the Dutch know that we don't? Kurtz has a ferocious voice, a tremendous gift for writing honest, powerful songs and a one-of-a-kind ability to unearth obscure, vintage artists to cover.
With her powerful and versatile voice, it's impressive but not surprising that Brooklyn-based songwriter Dayna Kurtz has made two new albums: 'Secret Canon, Vol. 1' and 'American Standard'. She also covers a range of American music forms in the process, and she brought a band to Studio A to share a few of the songs during a conversation with FUV's Rita Houston. [recorded: 03/27/12]
