Heart and soul, JD Danner brings her rock & roll spirit to every performance she does. At her latest performance, on Jan. 24 at Art’s Garage in Delray Beach, she did not disappoint. The room was packed to hear her belt out her popular original songs and many covers, from “Jolene” to “Son of a Preacher Man.” She even brought smiles to faces by playing the Mary Tyler Moore Show theme song. For 90 minutes, this songstress definitely rocked the house.
At the concert, she sang her newest single. Entitled “Nothing But Faith,” it was inspired by life under quarantine. The solitude and isolation coupled with the warmth of an Easter-time Zoom call with family led her to write this new piece. She hopes the piece brings a sense of hope. That is why she is letting the world listen for free. Her new single is currently available to hear on her website, www.jddanner.com. You can hear more songs from this Boca-Raton singer there as well.
By the way, Art’s Garage has music every weekend. Grab a specialty cocktails and get ready to rock. They require masks and employ sanitation practices. For more information, visit www.artsgarage.org.

Well, there will be no parade this year, no fun down at the beach… Due to COVID-19, the City of Deerfield Beach has made a few changes to this year’s Pioneer Day. Yes, it is only one day this year as well. To be held Feb. 13, which is a Saturday, the event will take it back to the event’s humble beginnings where it all began… to Pioneer Park, at 217 NE 5 Ave. in Deerfield.
The event will be organized similar to the Christmas event they had in Sullivan Park, in that they will have it split up into three sessions and will be socially distanced. Each will consist of three hours and will include live music, food trucks, live painting and more. And you MUST register. The event is free. Oh, and there will be no fireworks either…Don’t forget to bring your mask!
The city is doing its best to make some fun for the community despite the circumstances and to ensure everyone’s safety.
