Singer-songwriter Dawn Schumilas and guitarist Don Happner weave a complex blend of folk music, jazz, classical and Latin, creating a unique blend of mood and melody. Dawn has a gift for describing nature, special places, memories and things of beauty in her songs and these vivid lyrics have brought her international recognition in both songwriting and poetry circles. Don Happner brings the skills of a highly accomplished classical guitarist to the arrangements and accompaniments and occasionally co-writes.
Major songwriting credits include:
Finalist in Great American Song Contest, Songdoor, Canadian Songwriting Contest, and Unisong, and Winner of the American Songwriter Song Lyric Contest.
