CORNELIA STREET CAFE PRESENTS THE ASHLEY DANEMAN BAND IN SUPPORT OF HER CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED INSPIRATIONAL DEBUT ALBUM

NEW YORK, NY - On Tuesday, August 4th, Cornelia Street Cafe presents The Ashley Daneman Band as part of their Singer/Songwriter Festival. The group, led by New York City-based jazz singer and pianist, Ashley Daneman, will feature Benje Daneman on trumpet and flugelhorn, Matt Davis on guitar, Sam Weber on bass, and Michael W. Davis on drums.

This January, DownBeat Magazine selected Ashley Daneman’s self-produced, fan-funded debut, Beauty Indestructible as Editors’ Pick and printed a full-page interview with her in their March edition. A huge response for a little-known singer releasing an independent album at age 37, but critics would agree it was worth the wait. “Daneman is an assured singer who has clearly found her sound,” says Peter Bacon (The Jazz Breakfast) and All About Jazz calls it, “the triumphant debut of a seriously talented singer and songwriter.”...

A huge response for a little-known singer releasing an independent album at age 37, but critics would agree it was worth the wait. “Daneman is an assured singer who has clearly found her sound,” says Peter Bacon (The Jazz Breakfast) and All About Jazz calls it, “the triumphant debut of a seriously talented singer and songwriter.”

Daneman has come a long way to produce this album due to a serious bout with delayed-onset Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and plenty of interesting life turns. It has all caused Daneman to go deep with her blend of jazz and modern folk debuting “a publicly intimate recording that is frank and unapologetic. Beauty Indestructible is a collection of nine original "spirit poems" scored and written by Daneman, existing as an intensely personal song cycle. Daneman addresses the fundamental healing power of love” (C. Michael Bailey, All About Jazz). Drawing comparisons to Becca Stevens, Laura Nyro, and even Stephen Sondheim, Beauty Indestructible is summed up as “beautiful jazz art music from a gorgeous voice with superb accompaniment” (Mark S. Tucker, Folk & Acoustic Music Exchange) and as “a profound work of art that is so alive, so positive, and so blessedly musical” (Richard Kamins, Step Tempest). “Charming and enchanting with its offbeat/outside the lines sensibilities, [Beauty Indestructible] is killer stuff that’s sure to resonate with the gypsy in your soul” (Chris Spector, Midwest Record).

The concert is at Cornelia Street Cafe, on Tuesday, August 4th at 8:30pm. The cover charge is $10 in cash only collected at the door, and there is a $10 food and drink minimum in addition. For more information, visit www.ashleydaneman.com or www.corneliastreetcafe.com.
