Dawn Tyler Watson is currently one of the leading ladies of blues in Quebec. She has received several awards, including a JUNO Award in 2020 for her fifth album. On stage, she goes all out. She puts all her energy into making the blues she carries resonate and sharing it with the audience. Her songs are inspired by her experiences over the past few years, which have been, for her, a mix of artistic successes and emotional disappointments. The singer lets her creativity flow into various styles with blues as the common denominator.
