Known for her powerfully soulful vocals and wise-beyond-her-years songwriting, San Francisco's Dani Linnetz has displayed an excellent taste in both song material and collaborators. Her debut EP, 1999's Paperdoll, was followed in 2001 by the uniformly excellent Five and Dime, which followed a brief sojourn into New York City. When not recording and touring, Linnetz has also been a member of DivaBands, a touring collective of independent female artists. ~ Matt Fink
