Background:
Blue Largo is fronted by singer-pianist Taryn Donath. "I have been playing the piano for almost 20 years, and performing professionally for almost 14 of those years," she says on her MySpace page. "I discovered blues at the age of 11, and since then I have expanded my playing style from blues to West Coast swing, Chicago blues, and even a bit of western swing. I would describe my playing as tenacious and deliberate. Some people say my voice is very strong, but I like to sing more relaxed and natural best. I try my best to bring excitement and spontaneity to every performance. I feel music is one of the most precious gifts in this universe. It has the ability to take you places you have never been before, and it can also make you feel right at home."
Donath also performs with other local bands, including Billy Watson and Ronnie Lane and the Twisters.
