She has been described as one of the most charismatic female vocalists to hit the New York area in years. Dawn's powerful and passionate voice is often heard at New York's most sacred haunts such as The Bitter End, Village Underground, Elbow Room, The Baggot Inn, Le Bar Bat, Coda and Don't Tell Mama's.

In late 1990’s, she fronted her first original band, Sugarlily, which gained recognition as a club circuit favorite and appeared on several TV shows including Jersey's Talking with Lee Leonard. As a respected Jersey vocalist, Dawn was honored to sing the National Anthem for the Newark Bears baseball team as well as at a tribute to September 11th in Hoboken, New Jersey.

In 2003, Dawn broke out on her own as a solo artist and has recorded songs for IMG Publishing, including "Scared," produced by Dan Harnett, who has worked with Faith Hill and Jennifer Lopez among other notable artists.

Dawn’s accomplishments to date include:

•"Suggested Artist" in the VH1 Save the Music Contest

Dawn has performed with many well-known artists: Mike Gordon (Phish), Mark Egan (bass player for Pat Metheny, Joan Osborne, Sting); Brian Jackson (keyboard player for Gil Scott- Heron; Kool and the Gang, George Benson); Victor Jones (drummer for Dizzy Gillespie, Chaka Khan, Miles Davis) and spoken word artist Frank Messina & Octopoet.

With her new project, the Dawn Lorentz Band, Dawn's voice has been catapulted to new heights.

as well as the likes of Stevie Wonder, Natalie Merchant, Toby Lightman and Etta James.

Her sound is soulful, upbeat and very sexy.
