Dawn Pemberton

Dawn Pemberton’s creative voice has been an essential part of the Vancouver music scene for the better part of a decade, and she can often be found tearing it up as a vocalist, teacher, facilitator, choir director, and ‘go to girl’ for live performances and studio sessions. She’s well known as the ‘secret weapon’ of funk and soul groups all over our region.

A gifted and intuitive artist, Dawn expresses herself with a sense of adventure, quirkiness, and serious groove, all filtered and shaped through her own unique and dynamic vision. A passionate songwriter and performer, Dawn’s unmistakable voice sounds equally at home, whether she’s belting out gospel or bringing it down to deliver a soulful love ballad or a jazz standard.

Over the years, Dawn has shared the stage with the likes of Maceo Parker, The Sojourners, John Boutté and Dutch Robinson, but if you really want to experience Dawn’s magic, there’s nothing better than seeing her perform with her own band.

Vibrant, genuine, and soulful, Dawn always creates a unique and dynamic listening experience that positively soars in a live situation.
