Event Description

African-Canadian/Cherokee singer Dalannah Gail Bowen has been making music for half a century on the Canadian blues, rock and soul scene. Her style has been described as “Billie Holiday meets Howlin’ Wolf,” and she’s known for having “a truly spectacular set of pipes…Smoky. Earthy. Soulful. Powerful.” (Canadian Musician).
She is also an activist and socially conscious powerhouse. Dalannah can be found sharing her gifts and lessons via community work with people in the Downtown Eastside and uses her music to make a bold statement about injustice and inequality.
Over the years, she’s worked with many of the blues greats, including BB King, Joe Bonamassa, Taj Mahal, Jim Byrnes, Jerry Doucette, Steve Dawson, and others.
