The Dana Gaynor Band

Dana Gaynor is one of our music scene’s true icons and veterans. She’s won awards, and has played and toured with world-renowned artists. All of Dana’s influences and experiences seem to come together splendidly on her band’s latest release, “Power to the People,” a seamless 14-track journey through the lands of blues, funk, country, and rock and roll. Dana’s guitar work on “Power to the People” is, as expected, magnificent. A particular highlight is “In the Land of Fool’s Gold,” which features two well-crafted solos. Things get grittier on “Road to Oblivion,” which is complemented nicely with a fun groove in the rhythm section.
One thing to note about “Power to the People” is versatility. “Frenchman’s Wife” draws its main influence from country, while “Ghost Train” showcases the band’s blues side. Meanwhile, the album’s title track brings out the funk as Gaynor cries out for mankind to stand together and find unity in the world’s madness. By crossing so many different styles and appealing to so many different tastes, Dana Gaynor makes it possible to find that unity, not only through her lyrics, but through a thoughtful album that offers something for everyone.

“The Dana Gaynor Band slammed the lid on the night with an exceptional set of original blues geared tunes. Simply put, namesake/singer Dana Gaynor is an incredible guitar player who demonstrated constant mastery on her instrument! A career performer who worked with such names as Dan Hicks, John Cippolina of Quicksilver Messenger Service, Tommy Castro, Buddy Miles and more, Dana delivered stunning guitar solo and slide work that made jaws hit the floor! Her support cast wasn’t shabby either. Michael “Pozz” Pozzebon balanced the presentation with excellent keyboard solos and fills, while bassist Tony Mancino and drummer Frank Zelasney provided driving rhythms and back singer Diana Noelle Barber. Dana Led the group through smoking blues-rock anthems from their latest CD, “Power to the People”; including the title song, Tip My Hat to the Maker, Black Moon, In the Land of the Fool’s Gold, The Damage is Done and more. This was an excellent showcase from start to end and one of the biggest highlights of the Millennium weekend for me!

"Rocking some stanky blues, The Dana Gaynor Band brings you back to a time where musicians actually play their own instruments. In dazzling form, lead guitarist, Dana Gaynor doesn't hold back and lets it all hang out on this fourteen song symphony to the low-down and dirty within us all. "Power To The People" takes us on a guitar and sexy groove soaked journey through the emotions of life. I'd buy it twice just to have one copy in my car and another in my pocket to give to a friend. Do yourself a favor and do the same because I already gave my second copy to my mom. - Steel Notes Magazine (Feb 01, 2016)

“It is very rare event when an artist comes along that defies description! Dana Gaynor fits that bill. If I could use one word, it would be exceptional! This multi-talented musician is an undisputed master at her trade and it shows in the way she projects creativity in her music. With accolades that could fill multiple pages, the renowned artists she has played with and the respect she has garnered internationally, Dana's reputation as an elite guitarist is very much in evidence on this 17 track effort...“Laughing At Armageddon” is a masterful compilation of sound that covers many genres and would satisfy any listeners musical tastes. It is refreshing to hear the creativity these talented musicians performed with classy, flawless style. I give this CD a MUST LISTEN and 2 THUMBS UP!”
