Danielle Ponder: KCRW Live From HQ

Every so often, a voice comes along that can only be described as “definitional.” You know the ones: Aretha, Whitney, Adele… Public defender-turned-vocal powerhouse Danielle Ponder is next on the list. At her Live from KCRW HQ session — one that tears the roof off — the R&B/soul songstress enlivens our performance studio with fan favorite cuts from her debut album, “Some Of Us Are Brave,” including “Someone Like You,” and “Fray.” Plus, hear more about her transition from the law to soul superstar, and how her twin pursuits continue to find ways of overlapping. She also shares the stories of her all-time favorite performance at Attica Correctional Facility, the Zoom with Q-Tip that led her to finally quit her day job, and why, “after 40 is lit!”
