SUMMARY:The Soul Summit featuring Dawn Pemberton and Emily Braden
DESCRIPTION:The Seaside Music Festival presents\nThe Soul Summit featuring Dawn Pemberton and Emily Braden \nThe Seaside Music Festival presents an extraordinary evening of soul\, gospel\, jazz\, and funk\, bringing together two of North America’s most compelling vocalists for a one-night-only collaboration. \nAward-winning artist Dawn Pemberton joins forces with New York City’s Emily Braden in a rare meeting of voices that is as technically stunning as it is deeply engaging.

A staple of the Vancouver music scene\, she has toured extensively across Canada and Europe\, sharing stages with legends like Bettye LaVette and Kurt Elling\, and opening for Maceo Parker and St. Paul & The Broken Bones. Dawn’s acclaimed debut album\, Say Somethin’\, earned her the title of “the new queen of Canadian soul.” She is also the founder of the Roots ‘N’ Wings Women’s Choir\, a sought-after educator\, and host of Get on The Good Foot on CKUA Radio. With adventure\, groove\, and heart\, Dawn brings music to life\, hitting audiences where it counts and leaving them wanting more. \nEmily Braden is the winner of New York City’s ‘Best of the Best’ Jazzmobile Vocal Competition and two-time cultural ambassador with the US Embassy’s Arts Envoy Program. Originally from Boise\, Idaho\, Braden is a Harlem-based vocalist\, songwriter and lyricist who effortlessly blends jazz and soul to elevate the tradition and win the hearts of audiences around the world. NYC performances include Birdland Jazz Club\, Blue Note Jazz Club (Groove Series)\, The 55 Bar and Minton’s Playhouse.
