Dayna Kurtz’s Secret Canon, Vol.
2 is a
collection of uncovered 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 will also contain a few of Dayna’s smoky and
seductive originals. The sessions for the recording
took place in New York as well as Danya’s new home in New Orleans.
Dayna Kurtz is the most
compelling singer you’re probably not listening to.

It’s bluesy, it’s bold and so
very, very classic.

Killer stuff that any deep
blues fan will recognize is the real deal. Well
done.

thing. The Times
Picayune
Kurtz tilts her head back at an
angle and spins melodic, earthbound poetry that sets loose demons only to
dismiss them into the ether.

Rich as the darkest Godiva
chocolate, the voice gets into your bones until you can barely sleep at night
and can’t get through the day without it….Kurtz sounds at times like her musical
DNA contains traces of Leonard Cohen and Tom Waits, not to mention the world’s
great cabaret singers.– Paste

Kurtz’s diverse vocals feel both old and new, recalling Nina Simone of
yesteryear…hypnotically haunting – New York
