Event Description

Dalannah Gail Bowen brings her Billie Holiday tribute show to the Rogue to celebrate Black History Month.

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.

Dalannah Gail Bowen has been nominated by The Maple Blues Awards for their most prestigious award, the 2021 "Lifetime Achievement Award".

This show is a reschedule of the concert postponed on December 18, 2021.

This concert is made possible through funding from Canadian Heritage.
