Fresh off the heels of a 5 month tour of the US & Europe in support of her new critically acclaimed CD Bliss Avenue, Dana Fuchs is set to perform two songs from her latest CD, Bliss Avenue, LIVE on *DIRECTV’s “The Artie Lange Show” followed by a 15 minute interview with legendary late night host Craig Kilborn (The Daily Show). Her first song performance will be at 11pm and the second at midnight immediately followed by the interview. DONT MISS IT! Heres what the critics are saying about Dana: Dana Fuchs and her band recently completed a critically-acclaimed European tour. “If the Bliss Avenue CD was an interesting introduction to New York’s hard hitting vocalist and songwriter Dana Fuchs, her live show quickly revealed all her qualities,” wrote UK’s Ready to Rock in their review of her show at London’s The Borderline club. “She hit the crowd hard from the start, demanding that they give her as much back as she gave them on stage.” The follow-up to her 2011 label debut, Love to Beg in 2011, Bliss Avenue showcases Dana’s magnificent pipes in all their power-edged, soulful glory, laying bare her innermost feelings with provocative and thought-provoking lyrics, backed by an incendiary band led by her long-time wingman and guitarist, Jon Diamond. All of the lyrics on the new album were written by Dana, with most all of the music co-written by Dana and Jon. Clearly, Dana continues to explore areas that are very personal to her, yet universal in their appeal and substance. “If there’s one line that sounds thrown away or dialed in, it has to be redone,” says Dana. “Every word needs to express the emotion of the song or no one will get it and that leaves me cold.” The resulting album is a window into the singer’s world view, drawing on everything from the tragic loss of her beloved brother to the loneliness of life on the road. “I’m excited for people, especially those fans who have stuck so close with me, to hear Bliss Avenue,” adds Dana, “because I really purged my soul in a starker, more naked way, both lyrically and musically. “I got so emotional to the point of tears,” she admits, “singing several of these tunes that are so close to home, like ‘So Hard to Move,’ ‘Bliss Avenue,’ ‘Long, Long Game’ and ‘Vagabond Wind.’ I want this album to reach people in a way that’s meant to be inclusive. Not like, ‘Here’s my world and my story,’ but rather, ‘Here’s my story, can you relate...?’” More US shows are being added for early 2014 but heres whats coming up THIS year in the US: Tour Dates: 11-24-13 Dinosaur BBQ – Syracuse, NY USA (Special New York State Blues Festival Fundraiser! – Full Band Show ) Doors 6:00pm – Dana @ 8:00pm 12-06-13 33rd Annual John Lennon Benefit @ Symphony Space – New York, NY USA (Dana Performs John Lennon Songs with Steve Earle, Bettye LaVette, Joan Osborne, Marc Cohn, Raul Malo and more!
