Showcase Description
With seven albums under her belt, Desiree Dorion has amassed a catalogue of original music to paint pictures with words. Desiree is endearing and has a unique way of connecting her story with her listeners. She shares personal stories about her upbringing as an intergenerational residential school survivor, often injecting humour along the way. The audience can expect to laugh, cry and laugh again.
Her band is 67% First Nation and comprised of some of Manitoba's most talented players. Everyone onstage has a role to play in delivering an engaging live show. Having worked with Amy Wolter (Tom Jackson Productions), to perfect her live show, Desiree and her band have created moments throughout her show to entice the audience.

Depending on the size of the tour, I would consider hiring a publicist if it makes economical sense. Otherwise, I would take out digital adds in each jurisdiction, post show information on my social media and website, contact the local radio and newspaper to talk about the upcoming shows.
