Dayna Kurtz with special guest Tarantula A.D.

Show Description

Since last performing at Joe's Pub in August 2004, Dayna's career has exploded in Europe. Last year found her debut album riding high on the charts in the Netherlands, with sold out concert halls left begging for more. Dayna will be performing with Tarantula, a NYC based trio with a Balkan-jazz bent and a Metallica jones. "There's no logical reason why Dayna Kurtz is not a full-blown star" - Boston Globe "Dayna Kurtz's voice is a deep-hued garnet of lifeblood and beauty..." - Washington Post. Dayna's stunning new album of mostly covers is called Beautiful Yesterday. www.daynakurtz.com





Tarantula is a trio of cello, bass/guitar, and drums that plays the music of manic daydreams and nightmarish impulses. Their knack for melancholic melody, which is rooted in western classical music, is laced with the feverous intensity of the New York City rock scene. They express a timeless beauty that is both aurally and visually stunning. It is movie music without the film. Their recently released 12", entitled Atlantic, is out on Kemado Records. www.tarantula-music.com
