Dana Lauren is an award-winning and critically-acclaimed vocalist and songwriter.
She has toured and recorded with legendary Grammy Award-winning trumpeter Arturo Sandoval, singing at some of the nations most famed jazz venues. Her 2008 album release “Stairway to the Stars” (featuring and produced by Sandoval), hit the top of the jazz charts and received rave reviews from some of the most prestigious jazz publications in the country. Her second album release in 2010 “It’s You or No One”, was self produced and features Christian McBride on bass. That same year, Dana was selected as a semi-finalist in the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Vocal Competition.
While most young men and women struggle to find what they want out of life, singer Dana Lauren has been fortunate to know all along. The jazz vocalist says she can’t remember a time when she wasn’t singing.
The first thing one notices when listening to the smooth sounds Ms. Lauren conveys with her music is how worldly the lyrics sound coming from such a young voice. She explains that her conviction and passion for the words have to do with attitude more than anything else. “I’ve always been sure of myself with regard to my confidence,” she says. “I like to go beyond my comfort zone and enjoy letting down my guard.”
A complimentary bourbon & gin tasting from Mine Hill Distillery will also be available during the show.
