Canadian guitarist Donna Grantis leads a five-piece group that is wholly unique in today's music scene. Backed by an acclaimed rhythm section, Donna's incendiary guitar playing is highlighted against the percussive rhythms of tabla master Suphala to create a sound described by the Star Tribune as, "New millennium jazz-rock fusion, sorta like Jeff Beck meets a post-modern Mahavishnu Orchestra." Set to release her debut album, DIAMONDS & DYNAMITE, Grantis is best known for performing with Prince in his groups 3RDEYEGIRL and New Power Generation. As co-lead guitarist in Prince's most rock heavy band (3RDEYEGIRL), Grantis was named one of fifty sensational female guitarists by Guitar Player Magazine: "Trading blazing solos with the late Purple One on a nightly basis, she proved her mettle, and earned a place in guitar history." Grantis composed the title track to Prince & 3RDEYEGIRL's 2014 release, PLECTRUMELECTRUM, which hit #1 on the Billboard Rock Chart. She toured with Prince throughout the UK, Europe, and North America, with notable performances including three nights headlining the Montreux Jazz Festival, headlining the Essence Festival at a sold-out Superdome in New Orleans, and a historic performance at The White House for President Barack Obama and family. Grantis has shared the stage with Pearl Jam, Stevie Wonder, Chaka Khan, Janelle Monáe, and Kendrick Lamar.
