With the voice of a blue-eyed soul singer, and a musical sensibility that draws from classic country, contemporary pop, and deep soul music (including fronting the soul cover band Stet 5), Dawson's approach on "I Will Miss the Trumpets and the Drums" is that of a songwriter, arranger and singer who always looks for emotional honesty and connection. Dawson was in St. Louis for an appearance at the Soul Brothers and Sisters! James Brown Tribute on April 30, 2010, as well as a co-bill show with David Olney at Off Broadway on May 1.
