FUNK ‘n’ ROLL – How do we do it? We take the sturdiness of a rock band, immerse it in 60′s and 70′s funk, soul, rhythm and blues, outfit it with rich tones of warm guitar tube amps, organ, electric piano, tambourine and fat basslines, put two powerhouse vocalists out front to sing the heck out of those microphones… And most importantly, create harmony on and off stage… If you’re down for a great live music band that is far enough away from the mainstream, but funky enough to dance all night, this is the showcase you can’t miss. This is the business of Dawn in the City – sockin’ it to yer biscuits!!

Dawn in the City is an Edmonton, Alberta based, five-piece, live performance group that specializes in mixing up rock ‘n’ roll, funk, blues, soul and dance music for many types of events. They play their original music and cover many classic artists such as Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Stevie Wonder, AC/DC, Wilson Pickett and The Blues Brothers. They provide their own sound and lights, and put on a spirit-lifting stage show that is second to none.
