Donna Woodall

With her unique blend of jazz, blues, soul, and pop, Donna Woodall presents lush, intimate vocals with every performance and has established herself as a talented singer, bandleader, and songwriter in the Milwaukee music scene.

“I am a dread-locked singer/songwriter/bandleader/8th grade English teacher from Milwaukee, WI who feels most at home in a cool T-shirt and comfy jeans. If Carole King and Cassandra Wilson had a baby, they'd produce me.” - Donna Woodall

She skillfully blends the musical styles of artists such as Cassandra Wilson, Bonnie Raitt, Norah Jones, Tracy Chapman, and Esperanza Spalding with elements of traditional jazz, blues, and what she affectionately calls “soulful folk.”  The result? A fresh, new feel on familiar pop songs. Audiences are delighted by her eclectic song selections, cool originals, creative renditions of classic hits, and her bold moves into different music genres.

Donna's talents also come alive on her self-produced album, "The Subject Love." This labor of love let her flex her songwriting muscle, showcasing her original material.  Check out selected songs on the music page.

Performing at several of Milwaukee's most prestigious events and festivals, Donna has gathered a dedicated following. Masterful delivery and a captivating stage performance set Donna apart from the rest.
