Roberta Donnay & the Prohibition Mob !
for more info please check our website robertadonnay.com/shows

Donnay's voice could make any classic material sound wondrous and timeless, but the fact that she digs so deep into American musical history -- and works with some of the Bay Area's top jazz musicians (under the guise of the Prohibition Mob Band) -- makes A Little Sugar not only sweet, but a recording that will stand the test of time.- All Music Guide

"Roberta Donnay and the Prohibition Mob Band bring to new life the blues and jazz of the 1920s and '30s, diving deep into the music of Bessie Smith, Ma Rainey, Sippie Wallace, Ethel Waters, and Ida Cox. Roberta's "interpretive license is valid for both jazz and blues," and that she "knows exactly how far she can go drawing inspiration from time-honored singers...without sacrificing a sense of self."- DownBeat Magazine

"Roberta Donnay is a Jazz Age preservationist, guardian of Depression-era sounds, and extender of traditions, but her music isn't covered with cobwebs or dated in any way." – All About Jazz

"[Roberta Donnay's] engagement with the lyrics, her supple sense of time and her soulful, little-girl timbre remind you of Billie Holiday." - Mike Zwerin, International Herald Tribune

"Roberta Donnay & the Prohibition Mob Band present a modern take of the hot swingin' jazz and sultry blues of the 1920s and 30s that will make you want to dance all night!" - Verdi Club

"With her singularly enticing sound, few contemporary vocalists are as well suited to dustily vintage material as jazz-blues stylist Roberta Donnay." - Jazz Times
