Danya River is an ambitious young artist who lights up the country with her exquisite mix of "evocative writing, dark intriguing guitar work, and a velvet voice that ranges from formidable to ethereal." (KRFC, Fort Collins) She has opened for national acts such as Shawn Colvin, Melissa Ferrick, Matt Nathanson and Sloan Wainwright and at 24 was named Boulder Folk-n-Rock's "Best Artist" in her hometown of Boulder, Colorado. Rosanne Cash calls River's voice, "an amazing blend of the best of Joan Armatrading and the best of Sarah McLachlan" and her writing "uplifting, startling, and incredibly evocative."
River's 2004 release, Bone by Bone, is a lush, inviting, mysterious, exotic, playful and gripping collection of songs that have caught the ears of presenters, fans, and industry professionals all over the U.S.
On stage River reveals a "stark honesty, an uncanny charisma, an overwhelming intimacy in the way she [sings] into each person's eyes" (Scene Magazine). "She is a regular at venues including The Fox Theatre (Boulder, CO), Club Passim (Cambridge, MA) and the Bitter End (NYC). And she has received recognition for her songwriting through the Boulder Folk-n-Rock Awards, the Northern California Songwriter's Association, The Rocky Mountain Folk Festival, the Telluride Bluegrass Festival and the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival.
Known for her inventive, evocative guitar and vocals with sweet, rich melodies, the emotional impact of her voice will stop you in your tracks.
Danya River is currently resting from the road and in Boulder, CO. She is completing production of her new, self-titled album with Austin-based producer, Michael Hynes..
