Hailed as the new Janis Joplin even before she played the legendary rock icon in the off-Broadway musical Love, Janis, Dana Fuchs is a raspy-voiced, blues-rock-soul singer-songwriter whose versatile career has embraced music, theater and film. She starred on the big screen as ‘Sadie’ in Julie Taymor’s Beatles-based musical, Across the Universe, putting her undeniable lead vocal stamp on 'Helter Skelter,' 'Don’t Let Me Down' and 'Why Don’t We Do It in the Road.' Dana made a brief cameo in the ensemble piece New York, I Love You, had a starring role opposite Method Man in The Mortician and wrote and performed on the soundtrack to the Maggie Gyllenhaal movie, Sherrybaby. Dana has ignited performance stages all over the world with her burnt-honey vocals and bruisingly honest songwriting.

Her eponymous band’s studio catalog continues to grow steadily in acclaim, with 2011’s Love To Beg toasted as Classic Rock’s 'Blues Album of the Month,' 2013’s Bliss Avenue dubbed, 'blisteringly good' by the UK’s Bluesdoodles, and 2015’s acoustic album Broken Down of which AXS says, 'Her spectacular voice holds up through all the intimate spaces of a bloodshot moon and the roadside exits of lost loves.' Of her most recent release, Love Lives On, Blues Matters declares, 'Out of darkness comes light and a reborn Dana Fuchs, armed with the album of her life.'

Experience what No Depression hails as 'one of the most exciting acts on today’s blues scene.'
