Danielia Cotton and Stephen Colbert Harmonize On National Anthem at NYC Gala

Soulful roots-rock singer Danielia Cotton took the stage at New York City's Cipriani with Stephen Colbert Tuesday night, where the two of them harmonized on the National Anthem at the Partnership for Public Service Benefit Gala. The 800-person event honored NYC Police Commissioner Ray Kelly for his lifetime of work in public service.

Cotton has earned tremendous critical acclaim since the release of her album ‘Rare Child’ in May. The New York Times’ Jon Pareles likened her “blaring, guitar-charged, Southern-rooted rock” to “Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Black Crowes, Janis Joplin, Aerosmith and the rockier side of Bonnie Raitt,” while the LA Times hailed her for bringing “a freshness to the soul-rock formula, not to mention a contagious fervor that is near irresistible.”

Cotton continues to tour throughout the summer. See below for dates.
