If anybody has a claim... it is DB-land!!

Seriously, though, what an engaging performer. She just radiates joy in every clip I've seen.

Couldn't find this song anywhere either. Must be something new she wrote and hasn't recorded yet.

Her music still puts a smile on my face. I'll be seeing her for the 3rd time next month. Both times her playing and singing were spot on and her band grooves like crazy!

I still am blown away by her performance as part of the Stevie Wonder tribute at the White House. Totally killing it on a solo bass/vocal performance, and then, what the heck, backing up Tony Bennett.
This woman is STUPID GOOD. |

She used to play a Doolin fretless which was sweet, but I guess it got busted up while touring.
