Dawn Pemberton:
Portraits of the First Ladies of Jazz
Vancouver vocal dynamo Dawn Pemberton has a deep musical foundation rooted in tradition.
Dawn spent her formative years surrounded by a family of multi-instrumentalists, developing a true love of music as a young girl – getting an educated background in jazz voice and piano. She went on to become a staple of the Vancouver music scene and beyond, the secret weapon of funk and soul groups all over Western Canada as a vocalist, arranger, and ‘go-to’ for live performances and studio sessions.
For this special concert at the intimate TELUS Theatre at the Chan, she celebrates the women that helped shape the jazz vocal tradition: Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan and more. Expect to be charmed and stunned in equal measure, as one of Vancouver’s finest vocalists delivers a history lesson you won’t soon forget.
