The Donna Byrne Quartet

Jamme K. Chantler is the proprietor of The Mad Monkfish and long-time lover of vocal and instrumental jazz. His aim is to bring the best jazz talent possible to his venue The Jazz Baroness Room with minimal cost to diners. In addition, he and his music director, Scott Goulding–one third of the Yoko Miwa Trio–are dedicated to musical education and work in conjunction with The Cambridge Jazz Festival and Harvard's Kuumba Singers' director Sheldon Reid to achieve that end.

The Mad Monkfish

Donna Byrne is the original torch song vocalist! She swings and then brings a heart-felt reality to her ballads. We adore her at Monkfish!

SHE&#x27;S THE REAL MCCOY.&quot; - TONY BENNETTDonna has been invited by none other than Tony Bennett to open several of his shows both in the U.S. and abroadDonna Byrne is a jazz singer at the top of her game. With sultry good looks and a quick wit, Donna is not only a masterful singer, but also a true entertainer. She has performed with such renowned artists as: Sir Richard Rodney Bennett, Herb Pomeroy, Dave McKenna, Dick Johnson, Frank Wess, Stanley Turrentine, Scott Hamilton, Bucky Pizzarelli, Ken Peplowski, Bill Cunliffe, Harry Allen, Gray Sargent, Carmen Cicero, Dave Frishberg, Eddie Higgins, James Williams and The Artie Shaw Orchestra. She has opened for such performers as Lou Rawls, Bob Newhart and the great Tony Bennett on his national tour (the “thrill of a lifetime” for Donna). Her unforgettable performances have entertained audiences from L.A. to London, wowing audiences at such venues as: Blue Note Jazz Club, Tavern on the Green, Blues Alley, Scullers, Regattabar, Jazz Bakery, The Rainbow Room, and London’s Pizza on the Park. She’s also toured Florida, performing with Herb Pomeroy, Dave McKenna and Ruby Braff. Her audiences have been filled with such luminaries as the legendary Margaret Whiting, who “thoroughly enjoyed Donna&#x27;s performance,” and Tony Bennett, who dropped in for his birthday just to hear Donna sing his classic “It Was Me.” Mr. Bennett became an ardent fan, once flying home early from the Super Bowl just to catch Donna perform.https://www.donnabyrne.com/
