Music isnt just a large part of Dawnie Love's life its practically encoded in her DNA. The ethereal singer/songwriter has been performing since she could first muster the ability to pound on a suitcase along with a Beatles record.

 

Love gained her first real experience in the mid-nineties when she joined the New England-based group Nzingas Daughters as a guitarist. After cutting her teeth with that group, the forward-thinking Dawnie put together her own band, the jazzy fusion act  Swivel Hips. 

 

The all-female quartet garnered a large following in and around their native CT, racked up several local awards, released their own CD, and opened for national acts such as Ani Difrancos Bitchin and  Animal, the Neville Brothers, Juliana Hatfield, and Michelle Ndegeocello. A crowd of 60,000 enjoyed the worldly sounds of Swivel Hips at the 2000 Millennium March in Washington, D.C. 

 

Six years of Swivel Hips was enough for Dawnie, who once again struck out on her own in 2003. Relocating to the Big Apple, the plucky songstress began honing her craft with a variety of artists, including G. Love bass player Jimi Jazz, noted drummer Chauncy Yearwood, songwriter Ben Davis, tenor saxophonist Lozenzo Sanguedolce and electronic-rock music duo Streetlab. Dawnie co-wrote and performed "What Is It For?"  a recent top world wide Billboard contest winner! Having effectively paid her dues, Love is primed and ready to bring her rich organic soundscapes to listeners all over the world. 

 

Dawnie recently collaborated on ten shimmering soul-infused pop songs with producer, Ron Gozzo, RGT Music Productions . Bringing back the art of the song, these tracks are getting great buzz in New York and around the country. Dawnie Love,  Ron and the rest of the White Knuckle Riders have performed throughout NY,  at such venues as Arlene's Grocery, Rockwood Music Hall, Rose, The Rock Shop and throughout the North East....fans keep screaming for more! Dawnie has been featured on NBC and recently on the WB network. Vibrant, dedicated, and original  Dawnie's soulful voice and current pop feel delivers an amazing live show, not to be missed..
