Donna Roberts

Insightful! Compelling! Every song tells a story. Singer/songwriter, Donna Roberts from Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador creates songs that, according to fellow Woman of Labrador Shirley Montague, should be included in movie soundtracks. **********~~~~~~~~~~*********~~~~~~~~~**********~~~~~~~~~~** ********~~~~~~~~~~**********Donna released her debut album "Isolation Highway" in May 2006 which includes 11 of her own songs and the Dan Fogelberg hit "Leader of the Band". Produced and recorded by Clyde Wiseman at Conception Recording Studios, "Isolation Highway" features a wide variety of songs from the whimsical "Carefree Days" to the inspiring "I Believe In Me". Donna's music has been described as country/pop with a contemporary feel and her lyrics and voice are powerful and captivating. **********~~~~~~~~~*********~~~~~~~~~**********~~~~~~~~~~*** *******~~~~~~~~~~~**********In August, 2006, Donna was invited to the 30th Annual Newfoundland and Labrador Folk Festival with fellow Labrador musicians Harry Martin, Shirley Montague and The Flummies. In 2005, Donna was accompanied by regular band members Gord Crawford and Wade Wilcox as the opening act at the MusicNL Rising Star Tour in Happy Valley-Goose Bay for Duane Andrews and Colleen Power. She has also performed for the Expo Labrador '06 Trade Show and Conference, the 2006 Labrador Winter Games Labrador Concert, the 2005 Voiseys Bay and Beyond Trade Show and Exhibition, annually at the North West River Beach Festival, and the US Ambassador to Canada in Happy Valley-Goose Bay in 2004. Most recently Donna performed two shows in Labrador with Jacinda Beals and Shirley Montague. "I am blessed to have been given the opportunity to perform on the same stage as such amazing and talented singer/songwriters", says Donna. ***************~~~~~~~~~~~~***************~~~~~~~~~~~~~***** *****~~~~~~~~~~*************The NL Association for Community Living (NLACL) approached Donna to use "I Believe in Me" as the soundtrack for a video which promotes inclusion. Her dedication to the community living movement in her home province and her advocacy work for the inclusion of people with disabilities in all aspects of community is evident in her promise to donate a portion of CD sales to the NLACL. **********~~~~~~~~~***********~~~~~~~~~~**********~~~~~~~~~~ **********~~~~~~~~~~********
