Bridgette and Dawn
Overview
Entertaining duo with acoustic electric guitar and drums playing a great mix of music (originals, and cover tunes) that everyone will enjoy (not just the kids). Our music that will make you move and groove or chill depending on your mood! We also have a band with a bass player and play lots of festivals, events, private parties, weddings, bars etc. We can play kids' events and non-kids' events alike and keep people entertained by a wide variety of music - reggae, pop, rock, folk, country, blues etc. I also perform solo if you are looking for that instead of a duo or band.

November 1, 2024Great to work with!
We were only able to book Bridgette for our events, but she did a fabulous job. The preschool group loved all the songs they got to sing and I heard they really enjoyed getting to use some of her instruments to help make the music!

May 26, 2024They were excellent
They did a great job performing for our crowd which was smaller than expected. They got into the vibe of our festival and delivered the right music for our audience. I would definitely recommend them to others and use them again in the future. Very nice people too.

What to expect
Here is some feedback we got from a festival: "We have seen Bridgette and Dawn and the whole band at several different events in Annapolis, and we have enjoyed you every time! We are a four generation family, and you are enjoyed from a just turned 3 year old, to an almost 94 year old. Thank you for helping keep music in our lives!"

Her music is broadly diverse, high-energy, and joyful. Get transported to the islands and enjoy her special vibe!
