Dani Wilde On Tour Sept 17th to Oct 19th 21 year old Dani Wilde grew up in the tiny one shop, one pub village of Hullavington in Wiltshire, only a few doors away from the home of jazz superstar Jamie Cullum. In the same way that Jamie has taken jazz music to mainstream acceptance, Dani injects youth & vitality into another non-commercial musical genre – blues music; taking it to much wider audience. Dani has the genuine, authentic texture of real blues and soul in her voice, a quality rarely heard in singers of her age. She soars far beyond the usual limitations of youth with a conviction and emotion that defies her years. What the critics say:- “She releases a sort of diesel roar from her throat, pierced with little darts of high falsetto. It’s like two voices. … whooping and slurring like an old boy from the Delta” - Alan Franks The Times “ Seething vocals……..real talent” Henry Yates Classic Rock “Believe the hype, this girl is phenomenal” Blues in Britain Her debut album ‘Heal My Blues’ was released by Ruf Records in February ’08, and was voted album of month by Blues Matters magazine.
