"Donna Greene’s blues are dry martini blues. She sings with a lotta swagger, a dash of sauce and a cool retro vibe. She’d have been right at home on stage at the Sands of the Rat Pack days or Ciro’s on Sunset Boulevard circa 1948. But, it's 60 years later and Donna’s attitude and energy is totally 21st century. She gives you masterful singing that’s sensual, emotive, and fun. Donna Greene brings just the right feeling to a tune, whether it’s straight ahead blues like “You Can Have My Husband” or a Billie Holiday-era standard like “Comes Love.” “A Girl’s Gotta Have A Little Pleasure” is a winner! It’s a superbly-produced treasure highlighting Donna’s pristine singing with the style and punch of The Roadhouse Daddies!" -Nick Gerard, Host: “Nothin’ But the Blues” on KKJZ 88.1 FM Los Angeles & www.JazzAndBlues.org
“The phones lit up like a Christmas tree when I first aired the CD! I know that it's gonna get ALOT of spins. Awesome songwriting, amazing vocals, tight band; makes for some of the best ear candy to come out of my speakers this year. And Ms. Greene is very easy on the eyes!” Mike Flowers, Producer: “Mystic Mile” on KZUM 89.3 Lincoln, NE
“I listened to your album and I love it. You have an impeccable vocal technique, a natural swing, a delicious voice, it's a great pleasure to hear you. Really, in my opinion, a splendid album.” Serge Warin, Host of "Canal Blues" on Radio Canal Bleu, Objat, France
“Donna Greene’s album A Girl’s Gotta Have a Little Pleasure is as smooth as a good cup of coffee and as potent as a bourbon chaser.”
Leo Schumaker, Host of “Bluesland” on KCSB 91.9 FM Santa Barbara

“What a voice, Madame. Some sweetness in a hard world. Thank you.” César Sezer, Host of "Biker Street" on Radio Coteaux, St. Blancard, France
“The weather is sad today but your voice has brought the sun to me.” Michel Filiod, Host of "Boomerang" on Radio Canut, Lyon, France
“Donna Greene's singing voice is so romantic sounding so good, with a little bit of jazz in it. This is a voice that suits the music on “A Girls’ Gotta Have a Little Pleasure” perfectly. The album brings to my mind the feel of those late night concerts in steamy jazz clubs you can see in the movies. The rhythm is tight, horn riffs are punchy and guitar fills are always tasty.” -Przemek Draheim, Polish Blues Radio Host, www.blues.pl/draheim
“Wow, what a bluesy, soulful, swingin’ set of jazz-tinged, horn-powered songs. The entire CD just blew me away! If I had three thumbs, I’d give it three thumbs up.” -Jimmy Christian
“Donna Greene is a dangerous woman. She makes you fall in love with her without ever having met her. there’s so much emotion in her voice.”
The incredible Donna Greene is that rare singer who can tear open a song with intelligence, passion and humor until she owns it completely. She brings her huge heart, voice and style to her eclectic repertoire of feisty blues, smokey jazz and down and dirty R&B.
She came out of nowhere, looking like she just stepped off a train in 1940, walked into a bar and started singing the blues. Her amazing voice goes from a sultry whisper to a sizzling howl of pain. She has a vintage flair that immediately recalls the glamour of the 1940’s and draws her audiences in with her sexy roadhouse style. She gets things rocking.
Lady Blue has been compared to a wide range of vocalists. Billie Holiday to Dinah Washington, Peggy Lee to Etta James to Eva Cassidy to Bonnie Raitt.but her style is her own and her voice is unlike anyone else’s. She takes classic songs you may have heard a million times and shows you something about them that makes you realize that, until then, you hadn’t really “heard” them.
Ms. Greene has been lauded in both the jazz and blues scenes for her sensuous personality and roadhouse energy that pulls the audience in and keeps them wanting more. Joining her on stage are the Roadhouse Daddies led by Greg ‘Snoots Noodlemyer’ Loeb, whose bio is a mile long. He’s traveled the world and played with some amazing and well-known musicians. Snoots and Lady Blue are joined by some of the top veterans in the music world.
