Donna and Jeff Britton are a wife/husband acoustic duo. Donna sings and accompanies herself on guitar or piano while Jeff adds harmonies, drums, and/or percussion. In addition to originals, they play covers of a wide variety of styles including rock, country, singer/songwriter, and folk ranging from the 60’s to the current day. Examples include The Band, Chicago, Emmylou Harris, Joni Mitchell, John Prine, Linda Ronstadt, Paul Simon, James Taylor, Neil Young and many more.
Both have been active in the local music scene for years and currently perform with Crick City, the Gregson Brothers, and the Other Band. In the past they have performed together with the bands Thin Ice, Adirondack Splinter Group and Donna and Collide. Separately, Donna formerly had a duo called TattleTales with her late friend Bobbi Hogle, and Jeff has played with Last Daze, Decadence, The Joe Mama Band, King’s English, and Adiradical Blue to name a few.
Jeff has recorded CDs with Last Daze, the Joe Mama Band, Decadence and Adiradical Blue, has played drums for many local artists’ projects, and he has helped others record their original music as well. Donna has two CDs of original music with another on the way, and she has played keyboards and/or done background harmonies on several others’ CD projects. She also recorded original versions of two songs for the “New Audiences for Old Songs” project that was sponsored by the NYS Council on the Arts to expand awareness of rare folk songs from the Adirondack region.
Their music may be heard on iTunes, Spotify, Pandora, and YouTube, and their gigs are posted on the Donna Britton Music Facebook page. They sell their CDs of original music at their gigs and at the LARAC Gallery in Glens Falls.
