Dawn and Paul recieve a nod for Contemporary Artist of the Year from the Montreal Sounds of Blackness Awards!

Dawn & Paul's sold out show in Ste. Genevieve with special guests Guy Belanger and Gregoire Morncey will be re-aired on Friday March 7th at 8pm. Check your local CBC Two frequency to hear it, or click here: http://www.cbc.ca/radio2/

The Duo was awarded the coveted ROSEQ Tour grant at this year's Bourse Rideau Conference last week in Quebec City. They've be invited to showcase later this month in Sept Isles. Stay tuned for tour dates in and around the Gaspe area in August!

This is the album that Alison Krauss' and Robert Plant's "Raising Sand" should have been but wasn't: two deeply heartfelt, often soaring vocalists meshing their instruments into a single voice. The irony is that Montreal's Dawn Tyler Watson and Paul Deslauriers even tackle Plant's own "Going to California" from his Led Zeppelin days, and remake it into something distinctive and wonderful. Krauss and Plant never come up with anything nearly this good on their own recently released collaboration. Zeppelin isn't even the only rock icon they remake; they also tackle W.C. Clark's "Cold Shot" (made most famous by Stevie Ray Vaughan), Simon & Garfunkel's "Homeward Bound" and the Beatles' "Come Together," in each case coming up with something new and fresh. It's a relaxed, easy listen throughout ---- the playing is never hurried, or even particularly urgent. Rather, the intensity of the performance comes through in the emotions the two singers convey via their voices. 9/10
