Elizabeth Dawson has been singing since childhood, but it was only in college that she was introduced to jazz music. Under the tutelage of Brian Kirk, jazz ensemble leader at Seattle Central, Elizabeth learned to listen to, and imitate,
all the great jazz singers: Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughn, Peggy Lee, Carmen McRae, and most of all, Ella Fitzgerald.
Although she has no formal training, Elizabeth has performed with Seattle Central's jazz ensemble at Tula's Jazz Club, Benaroya Hall, and the Seattle Central Unity Fair, and at the Ballard Jam House with guitarist Michael Cosgrove. She is always eager to meet other musicians, or anyone who wants to pay her to sing!
Elizabeth also performs with Blue Moon Daughter, which consists of Michael Cosgrove on guitar, Rod Backman on bass, and Bob Chester on drums. Check out
