Andrea Dawson: Bio

This talented lady is a Late Bloomer with one hell of a Flower! She is known by some as (Hashbrown's) Baby Sister and by others the Sassy Soulstress of the Blues. With an eclectic taste in music, Andrea Dawson's repertoire swings from Ella to Aretha to BB King to Tracy Chapman...all in one show. She offers a mixture of Smooth Blues and Rocking Jazz, l_44e9ef1a8f6a47f1985bcd9407093f7c.jpg Having started late in life to pursue a dream of entertaining, she was spurred on by childhood memories of being inspired by singers like Mahalia Jackson in "Imitation of Life" who left an indelible impression on her psyche. Andrea is a self-taught band leader and performer with a driving ambition to integrate herself into the Dallas music scene. From juke joints to the prestigious Museum of Art, from intimate wine bars to rowdy Roadhouses, Andrea has lived by the adage that if there's music to be made and lives to touch, what better place to be?
