Donnay, a singer, composer, and producer, has been on the jazz and blues scene for over three decades. She has performed and recorded with some of the biggest names in the music industry and toured throughout the U.S. and internationally, performing at clubs, theatres, concert venues and jazz festivals, including Exit Zero Jazz, Monterey Jazz, Montreux, Jacksonville Jazz Fest, Sonoma International Film Fest, and more.
Donnay is a recipient of the prestigious ASCAP Composers Award for her song, “One World." Her music has been heard on both film and TV, as well on Serious XM Radio. She has received features in both DownBeat Magazine and JazzTimes for her prior releases.
Donnay chose 16 songs associated with Dearie for the album, written by diverse composers and lyricists. Drawn years ago to Blossom Dearie for her simple but swinging storytelling, BLOSSOM-ing! is a true labor of love for Donnay. Dearie was a minimalist with a kittenish voice and a playful style. Donnay’s homage to Dearie captures her essence, but she adds her own sassy, bluesy interpretationsthat audiences have come to love.
