"Donna has been a staple in the NW music scene and festivals playing solo or as lead in Donna and the Side Effects. Toured with Irish musician Maurice Dickson in England , Wales and Scotlandfolk festivals as a featured singer/songwriter."
Bill Keenom, author of “If you Love these Blues” (bio of Mike Bloomfield): “Donna possesses a seemingly effortless ability to wrap notes around the lyrics in her songs. She easily earns her audience’s attention with a sense of melody and dynamics that is often lacking in today’s pop performances”
Fran Gray (Two Louie’s): “ outstanding songwriting and musicianship, but above all her CD’s are just fun to listen to”
John Foyston (Oregonian): “an engagingly collection that prominently features Jose’s acutely observed songs and her agile, clear soprano. She has a dark, warm and beautifully modulated voice and technique”
” Jose’s music is like a big garden salad with peppery seasonings and an unforgettable tangy vinaigrette dressing. Passionate and energetic vocals, “Americana with an attitude”
Donna Jose is featured artist on Oregon Public Broadcasting Artbeat (episode 229)
