Soul Saturday w/ Danielle DeCosmo & Blackbird Morning

DeCosmo plays guitar, mandolin, a little bass and piano and can harmonize with anything. She writes her own music and sings as if it is her last day on earth. Despite her ability to sing Aretha Franklin songs and rock out like Led Zeppelin, her voice still maintains much of her jazz-rich musical upbringing, with a clarity that you haven't heard since Ella Fitzgerald.

“She is small in stature, but has a big, big voice….think Susan Tedeschi. She was born way too late to be a torch singer at the Copa, but her voice will remind you of those silky 1940?s vocalists.”
?Steve Hart, Amelia Island Blues Fest 2010

“DeCosmo, vocalist for Boss Lady and the Company, came to 6th Street when the band had an opening for a lead singer. At Friday’s show, with her hair pulled back and dressed in a modest black sleeveless frock, she didn’t resemble the bikini-top-wearing, belly-baring chick from Boss Lady and the Company. That iteration of DeCosmo is something of a local legend. The singer lost nothing in shedding the sexy for the demure. The modest attire meant that the voice had to stand on its own and it did, alternately gliding, swooping, sailing, and rocketing through a set list comprising R & B classics and original material. ”
