Donna Frost-Girls Like Us
Spat! Records www.spatrecords.net
Donna Frost just might be the hardest working woman in Nashville's music scene. She stays busy year 'round touring the world. She does the radio and internet chart work and booking all herself. Raised in the Nashville area in a musical family, it's in her blood. Her grandparents were gospel singers and her father and uncles make up the Frost Brothers Quartet. Uncle Felton Jarvis produced Elvis Presley. Donna recalls jams at Felton's house with James Burton and Carl Perkins. From all this, she's developed her own style of Pop/Country/Rock. She's received ASCAPlus awards for performing singer/songwriter in 2005, 2006, 2007 & 2008. Donna contributed a story to "Tales from the Rock and Roll Highway" by Marley Brant (Billboard Books). She's in "The Other Side of Nashville", a documentary about rock and roll in Music City. Frost is also a member of the BUNNIEs with her brother Tony, a popular rock band in Twangtown. Her songs display a rocker's attitude vocally and especially lyrically even though the songs are smooth, not ragged and punky. "Jacksonville" is getting the most attention, reaching high into the HotDisc Independent Top 20. "Payin' to Play" speaks of the situation for Nashville up-and-comers in local nightclubs. The song rocks ala Bonnie Raitt. The musicians on this record are all strong. This album was well put together by a seasoned pro. Enjoy the road, Donna.
