Donna Fletcher sang as a child and learned harmony from her mother, and played protest songs in coffee shops when she was young. She started going to Blues Week thirty years ago and learned from some great Piedmont guitar masters, like John Jackson and John Cephas. She comments that "playing with other people will improve your skills by osmosis if you listen," and that "listening is a participatory sport!" She also has been booking performances for the Folklore Society of Greater Washington for decades and more recently the Holiday Market at Eastern Market in Washington, DC. She says she likes music that has a message and that that music can bring us all together.
