It is a pleasure to welcome singer-songwriter and guitarist Danielia Cotton to The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast.  

Danielia is a New York City-based Americana/Roots Rook artist. She grew up nurturing her natural musical gifts in rural Hopewell, New Jersey, where she was one of only a half dozen Black kids in school. After being the first woman in her family to graduate college, she continued to fight against preconceived notions, naming her first full-length studio album, Small White Town, as a nod to her upbringing.  

Over the past few decades, Danielia Cotton opened for the likes of Gregg Allman, Bon Jovi, Robert Cray, Robert Randolph, Cristone “Kingfish” Ingram, Derek Trucks Band, and Aimee Mann. In addition, she was named Lilith Fair’s Onstage Local Talent Winner, and her music has been heard in television shows and national commercials.

The New York Times praised Daniella, stating, “She’s a belter who can hold back or work her way up to a gospely blues-rock shout, and in the songs, she writes with her band’s brawny guitar riffs, she grapples with the road, salvation, holding on, and letting go.” Daniella’s music also received praise from Consequence, Entertainment Tonight, Refinery 29, and Spin.   Her fanbase covers New York, the Jersey Shore, Philadelphia, and parts of the Midwest. She recently performed shows for the 2024 Light of Day Winterfest in Asbury Park.   

On this episode of The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Danielia Cotton spoke about the lessons she learned from opening for Gregg Allman, Bon Jovi, Robert Randolph, and Aimee Mann. She also talked about her upcoming extended play, Charley’s Pride, which honors the legendary country music singer Charley Pride.
