Even though it’s officially my day off from OTBKB, I’ll sneak back to tell you that there is a wonderful Park Slope based musician, Dayna Kurtz,  playing at Barbes tonight.  I saw Dayna and her band at The Living Room last December and at The Bell House a few weeks later. Each set was mostly made up of songs from Danya’s forthcoming album, Secret Canon, Vol. 1, which consists of mid 20th century r&b, jazz and/or blues songs which have not been previously covered or covered only once. Dayna was able to infuse this material with enough passion to get an “Oh, Wow” from me and the crowd.  Tonight’s set should be drawn from the same material; at this show Danya will be playing in a trio format with Peter Vitalone on piano and organ and Dave Richards on upright bass.  The rest of the details are waiting for you at Now I’ve Heard Everything; just click here.
