Maria Dunn at The Dream Cafe

MARIA DUNN Thursday, May 23rd Doors 6pm Show 8pm 2017 Juno-nominated songwriter MARIA DUNN DRAWS DEEPLY ON THE FOLK TRADITION OF STORYTELLING THROUGH SONG. Melding North American roots music with her Scottish-Irish heritage, she sings about the resilience and grace of “ordinary” people, past and present. Her latest release Gathering (Nominee - 2017 Juno Award, Nominee - 2017 WCMA; Winner - 2016 Edmonton Music Prize), is a collection of songs inspired by love—the love of family, community and humanity that connects us and fires our actions to make the world a better place (produced by Shannon Johnson, 2007 Juno-winner with her band The McDades for Bloom). MARIA'S PREVIOUS FIVE INDEPENDENT RECORDINGS INCLUDE: Piece By Piece (2013 Canadian Folk Music Award Nominee), The Peddler (2009 CFMA Nominee), and For A Song (2002 Juno Nominee). Edmonton-based, MARIA PERFORMS AT FOLK FESTIVALS, theatres and conferences across CANADA, in Europe (UK Tour 2017, 2015; Netherlands 2011, 2010) and the USA. …remarkable singer-songwriter, think of her as a distaff Woody Guthrie. –Mike Ross, Edmonton Sun A wonderful collection of new songs from one of our most important and vital songwriters… Essential listening, then, this Gathering. –Roddy Campbell, Penguin Eggs Magazine Tickets: Premium $33 Wings $23
