Up late the night before, rehearsing with her band, she was operating on little more than an hour of sleep.
Some bands tour for years, selling records out of the trunk, before any major label takes notice.
Representatives from three labels were in the audience to check out the Philly band's live show. This was daywithdonn's first time playing Greenwich Village's Bitter End, the legendary folk club where Dylan and Baez cut their teeth in the early '60s. It was a warm but not uncomfortably hot evening. Friendly faces dotted a quarter of the room. As soon as the members of daywithdonn began to set their equipment on stage, people began to straggle out.
