Arturo Gómez, Denver’s KUVO Music Director, interviews Kim Dawson about her four upcoming shows at Dazzle @ Baur's, November 18 & 19, 2021.
As Dazzle @ Baur’s continues to celebrate its 25 Anniversary, Kim Dawson joins the lineup with four shows over two evenings. The early shows are a duet with B3 organist Wil Blades and the late shows are purely her own sound. There is a lot of thought and passion put into these shows. The duets are a demonstration of their personal and professional friendship with the B3 organ mixing beautifully with Dawson’s instrument: her voice.
Kim Dawson’s solo work is an eclectic mix of R&B, neo-soul, and funk with a love-laced passion for all things jazz that came from the forced break during the pandemic. It was an opportunity to slow down and cultivate her own creativity.
While not quite a Denver native, she has been here since her early years and is closely tied to the Denver musical community. She’s performed in variety of bands: alt-rock, soul, punk, R&B, and her roots are in gospel. Kim worked hard to explore the value of every facet of music, and she now combines them into her own music.
Since there is such a blurring of genre lines right now, it is the perfect time for her unique sound to take the stage and shine. Dazzle @ Baur’s, “one of the great jazz clubs in the world,” according to Arturo, is honored to have her take our stage and dazzle audiences over the two nights.
