Singer Dayna Kurtz will sing the blues in a one-night performance in Edmonds on Saturday.

Over the past decade, the New Jersey born, now New Orleans resident vocalist/ writer/ musician/ producer has been bestowed with many awards and praises, including being named the Female Songwriter of the Year by the National Academy of Songwriters.

Norah Jones and Bonnie Raitt have raved about her in interviews, and she’s performed on such high-profile radio shows as World Cafe, Mountain Stage and NPR’s Morning Edition and Tell Me More.

She’s toured with the likes of Elvis Costello, Richard Thompson, Mavis Staples, Rufus Wainwright, B.B. King, Dr. John, Richie Havens, Keren Ann, Chris Whitley, and the Blind Boys of Alabama.

She has recently released Secret Canon, Vol. 2, her second collection of lost and obscure blues and R/B gems from the 1940’s-1960’s. Dayna has been researching music for this project for months to come up with just the right material.

In addition, Secret Canon, Vol. 2 contains two of Dayna’s smoky and seductive originals, including its searing opener, “I Look Good in Bad.”
