Over the past decade, New Jersey native Dayna Kurtz has been bestowed with many awards and praises, including being named Female Songwriter of the Year by the National Academy of Songwriters.

She’s toured and opened for the likes of Elvis Costello, Richard Thompson, Rufus Wainwright, and the Blind Boys of Alabama. She’ll be joined by her frequent collaborator, the masterful guitarist Robert Maché.
