She has recorded with Norah Jones and Bonnie Raitt have raved about her in interviews. Dayna has performed on such high-profile radio shows as World Cafe, Mountain Stage and NPR's Morning Edition and Tell Me More. She's toured with the likes of Elvis Costello, Richard Thompson, Mavis Staples, Rufus Wainwright, B.B. King, Dr. John, Richie Havens, Keren Ann, Chris Whitley, and the Blind Boys of Alabama. Kurtz's voice is a potent thing. She projected that voice like a stage actress; the occasional glint of grit made it all the richer. Keith Spera, Times-Picayune (Jazzfest 2012 review) When Kurtz sings, one of two things typically happens. Either she lets out a deep, husky croon that seems to bubble up from her toes, or she unleashes a full-throttle roar that’s more inviting than imposing…There’s no logical reason why Dayna Kurtz is not a full blown star.
