DAWN AND MARRA w MELISSA BEL & KIM KOREN: Saturday, March 31, 8:00pm. $10 at the door. Join us for a relaxing evening of great music with 4 talented, intelligent and creative women of song. If you are interested in the songwriting process, this is the night for you! It will be an intimate songwriter’s evening focusing on four of Hamilton’s finest, playing and talking about their influences, their processes, and their own music. You can look forward to a mix of genres with Kim Koren (roots, pop), Melissa Bel (pop, rock, blues), and Dawn and Marra (indie-folk).
Dawn and Marra came to our attention winning the 2010 Hamilton Music Awards Rising Star competition. Soon afterwards they released their first album and shared a stage with many renowned acts including Daniel Lanois, Gord Downie, The Reason, Sarah Harmer, and more. At only 19 and 17, these two young ladies’ incredible harmonies and engaging original songs establish them as a must-see act in the indie-folk revival. www.dawnandmarra.com 
Melissa Bel’s voice has power and soul. It’s a voice all the more remarkable because it belongs to a petite, fresh-faced 22-year old. Growing up in Burlington, Melissa has received much critical acclaim from her 2010 tour in Germany and at home here in Canada. Her new ‘Distance’ EP is rich, smoky, impassioned and powerful, a rarity in the present day pop world. http://melissa-bel.com
Singer/songwriter Kim Koren (aka Marra’s Mom) draws from her roots to deliver an uncompromising musical mélange from alternative country rock to beautiful ballads, sharing the stage with a diverse and 
celebrated group of artists that include; Steve Earle, Barney Bentall, Country Joe McDonald. “This Dundas-born country rocker has a voice that could melt butter. She writes with Stevie Nicks’ power. ” – Graham Rockingham http://music.cbc.ca/#/artists/Kim-Koren
