GAD AT MICHIGAN WOMYN?S MUSIC FESTIVAL 30th ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION!
AUGUST 9th ? 14th, 2005 WALHALLA, MICHIGAN
Gail Ann Dorsey will be performing again this year at The Michigan Womyn?s Music Festival in Northwestern Michigan. Last year, Gail played bass with Asian-American singer-songwriter and activist Magdalen Hsu-Li, and performed solo in the festival?s ?Round Robin? event with artists including Jill Sobule and Gretchen Phillips.
This year Dorsey headlines her own set on the night stage in a spectacular Thursday night lineup!
Gail will be performing with a band for the first time in almost a decade! Band members include long-time friend and B-52 bassist Sara Lee on bass and keyboards, Bowie band-mate Catherine Russell on keyboards, vocals, and mandolin, and drummer Allison Miller of Toshi Reagon and Natalie Merchant. Gail will be playing songs from her latest CD release, I Used To Be?, as well as premiering two brand new songs from a new CD currently in the making!
In addition to her own appearance, Gail will take part in 30 Years Of Rock Chix Lix, a chronological feast and celebration of memorable female accomplishments in popular music history (or herstory!). This event is produced by BETTY bassist Alyson Palmer, and includes a fabulous line up of guest vocalists including Toshi Reagon, Rhiannon, and Catherine Russell, with backing band Julie Wolf on keyboards, Jen Leigh on guitar, Alyson Palmer on bass, and Allison Miller on drums.
Dorsey will kick off this event with her groovy rendition of the Helen Reddy classic “Angie Baby”, which Dorsey also plans to record for her next CD.
This year?s 30-year special celebratory line-up will also include The L Word stars, BETTY, Toshi Reagon & Big Lovely, and The Indigo Girls among many other extraordinary female artists and performers.
