Here are a couple of things people have said about Donna Dean. Not many artists have the imaginations of a Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen. Or the creative lunacy of a John Prine, Randy Newman or Tom Waits. This is Americana music of the highest quality. - John Apice - No Depression Magazine U.S.A
She writes with the poetic economy of musicians like James McMurtry and Dolly Parton, and authors like Appalachia's Ron Rash, in that she can sketch in a story in a few words.Graham Reid - Elsewhere N.Z
Donna will do a set, mostly solo, sometimes accompanied by Mark Laurent, who hosts the Saturday night shows. In a room full of musicians it's not unheard of for one or two of them to be invited up to add a harmony etc. Admission is free & there's a koha teapot on the bar into which you're very welcome to make donations to help support the music.
