Interview with Donna Herula

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Donna Herula Donna Herula is an award-winning blues singer, songwriter, resonator slide guitarist, bandleader, educator, and Chicago Blues Hall of Fame inductee whose music bridges Delta blues, early Chicago blues, folk, soul, gospel, Americana, and New Orleans rhythm. Hailed by Living Blues Magazine for her “superlative guitar prowess,” Herula has built a reputation as a powerful acoustic and electric blues artist with a gift for emotional honesty, intricate guitar work, and songs that carry both strength and vulnerability. Based in the Chicago area, Herula leads both the Donna Herula Trio, an acoustic folk-blues group, and the Donna Herula Band, a full electric blues ensemble. Across those settings, she moves with ease between intimate acoustic storytelling and high-energy band performances, keeping the blues tradition alive while writing from a distinctly modern and personal point of view. http://www.makingascene.org
