artist Dolores Dagenais

Dolores is currently releasing her fifth album "Big Girl Art" an eclectic blend of  folk, county, pop and jazz sounds.  Brilliantly produced by David Partridge (Postcard Comets) and featuring the talents of Robert "Buck" Wilburn on lead and steel guitars.  A  guest appearance by Larry Rice enriches the track "Daisy on the Roof" with hot fiddle licks. that are sure to get the toes tapping.  The songs are signature pieces in Dolores' repertoire.  From the funny to the sentimental, irreverent to the down right obscene, this is some of her best writing to date.  The album and subsequent tour is slated for the spring and summer of 2010. 

"Dolores’s voice is sweet, whether effectively being bluesy or traditional folk... ...she sings from the heart with full and emotive knowledge. as prolific as she is...the quality of her writing doesn’t falter."  Robert Barry Francos, Music Reviewer FFanzzeen                         

Dolores' live performances are engaging her warmth and humour draw the audience in and the power of her vocals keeps them coming back for more.  The true power of her vocals can only be experienced in a live venue, as she invites the listener to make an emotional connection to the music without the distraction of lavish over-productions. Her songs are about all aspects of life, from great triumph to profound regret written in a pull no punches style that still manages to remain warm and universal.

"...a real Joni Mitchell sound ..it sounds great! "

"Dolores' songs are a reflection of the world around her...sometimes serious, sometimes fun...but always honest"
