| Danielia Cotton Performs at Appel Farm Appel Farm's concert season continues with rock and blues singer-songwriter Danielia Cotton on Saturday, May 9. With a powerful voice that defines Cotton's deeply felt songs, she leads audiences on an emotional journey through her compelling lyrics. Though still new to the music scene, Cotton has already garnered many accolades. She was named "Artist to Watch" in 2005 by WXPN/Philadelphia, home of the nationally syndicated World Café, who slotted the album's soulful single, "It's Only Life" into heavy rotation. She was also featured on their HDNetwork broadcast of "On Stage at World Cafe Live". XPN has designated this concert as a "Welcomes" event on their website. She has opened for a roster of acts that define great rock and blues music: legends Buddy Guy and Etta James; rock giants Bon Jovi, Gregg Allman, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Little Feat. Her latest album, Rare Child, shows her remarkable voice, heart and soul. Rare Child was ranked in the top ten albums downloaded on iTunes during its first week of release. "She has a big voice-strong, clear and well-rounded, that commands attention for self-penned songs that burn with defiance and self-determination. Cotton….reveals all the soul beneath the strength." ~ The Philadelphia Inquirer Appel Farm Arts and Music Center is a non-profit regional arts center serving audiences, artists, and students.
