\ TO EAST \

I first wrote about Blues songwriter and singer Dawn Duvall, along with her then duo partner Lorraine Ingle, back in the early 90s when the pair were impressing audiences as Blue Willow.

Midway through the decade they released a lovely Boogie-Woogie Blues album, Greasy Talk, which I gave a glowing review in a cover story in my to-nite magazine Issue 047, May 1-16, 1995.

I noted in that article how Duvall’s vocals had evolved from more mainstream into a punchier “razorbacked, slightly grizzled persona” and concluded the album had “substance and style” and that with tunes such as “Spend Money” was deserving of radio play and worthy of other bands covering their songs.

[Subscribers who are registered members of our website can check out the full article in our Vault section.]

We sort of lost touch over the years since as Lorraine left the duo for cruise ship work and it seemed Dawn retreated from the music scene —though I have occasionally seen her name pop up as a guest vocalist for other artists or at benefit shows.

Two years ago, however, I ran into her in a most unexpected place: while getting prepped for removal of a cataract in one eye, I was surprised and delighted when an attending technician introduced herself and we chatted very briefly before the procedure began.  Dawn told me she was working on new material and while I hadn’t heard anything since, it now appears ready for launch.

In fact that happens this afternoon at The Duke Live at 1225 Queen Street East, when her new DawnsVille band takes to the stage to This Could Be Anything.

The band for today’s release show includes Tom Melville on piano, Rick Blair on bass; John Meydam on drums; Jono Grant on guitar; Simon Wallis on sax; both Carlos del Junco and Bob Adams on harmonica; with harmony vocals from Yohanna Vanderkley, Joanne Powell, Angie Mckinnon and, of course, Lorraine Ingle.

This spacious room has a pro-level stage with lights and great sound and I’d expect Dawn and her talented combo will make good use of it.  Cover for the 5-8:30 show is just $10 and I’m told that, surprisingly, the food at this place these days is actually pretty good.
