An Evening with Gail Ann Dorsey
City Winery Philadelphia Presents An Evening with Gail Ann Dorsey on January 2nd at 7:30pm.
A truly singular musical force, Gail Ann Dorsey has built her life in devotion to music and its potential for transcendence. Over the course of her extraordinary career, the Philadelphia-born singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist has emerged as one of the most renowned bass guitarists in recent history, widely celebrated for her collaborations with many of the brightest luminaries in rock and pop. She has contributed her dynamic voice and instrumental skills to projects from the industry’s top recording artists as well as her own solo recordings and live performances.
One of the most notable GAD vocal pairings is her show-stopping duet with music legend David Bowie on the Queen/Bowie classic “Under Pressure”. Dorsey occupied the bass guitar/vocalist chair in David Bowie’s touring bands from 1995 to 2004, also contributing to the albums ‘Earthling’, ‘Reality’ and ‘The Next Day’’ as well as the posthumous releases of studio recordings ‘Toy’, the box set ‘Brilliant Adventure (1992-2001) and the Bowie live set ‘Glastonbury 2000’. In addition to her tenure with David Bowie, Gail Ann has recorded and toured around the world with an impressive array of artists: from electronic master Thomas Dolby to soul vocalist Seal, pop icon Gwen Stefani to songstress Joan Osborne, post punk pioneers Gang of Four to rocker Lenny Kravitz to Tears for Fears, and many more.
Gail Ann is currently a featured vocalist in the Blackstar Symphony, with bandleader Donny McCaslin. Gail Ann has previously released three solo albums; ‘The Corporate World', ‘Rude Blue’, and ‘I Used to Be...’. Dorsey’s forthcoming album The Appearance of Life, her first solo body of work in 21 years, marks the long-awaited culmination of a lifetime of musical voyaging - and her profoundly unique and visionary artistry. The first single, “It Takes All Kinds to Make a World,” is a moving call for empathy and unity in an increasingly fractured world.
