Dawna & Mingo

Natalie’s presents Dawna and Mingo, two great acts for an evening not to be missed!  Dawna, a group who began their musical path in the summer of 2018 when Jesse and keyboardist Ryan Paradise collaborated with power trio, The High Definitions. Tight harmonies, arrangements, and talented musicians are the foundation of Dawna’s unique sound. Henry’s songwriting establishes a modern identity while paying homage to American roots, blues, jazz, and country. Together, Dawna creates soundscapes, and adventurous imagery that take the listener on a fun, thoughtful, and soulful journey.

Mingo draws from a deep pool of influences to create original material. For the past 6 years, this group has been delivering their unique brand of Alternative Western music to audiences near and far. A coyote howling across the valley, a whippoorwill’s song after sunset, or a highballing freight train are right at home with this Capitol City quartet. Their debut album, Fulton, finally made its way to a limited vinyl pressing, much to their devoted fans’ delight. Like all great western tales that came before it, the album focuses heavily on life’s constant themes. Love, friendship, adversity, and redemption all find their way to the listener through the pen, voice, and guitar of Jeremy Mills. Mitch Pinkston will lend talents while he holds down the low end on the electric bass. Johnny Polansky keeps the pulse on the drum kit. Rounding out the ensemble is Jake Young on electric guitar.
