Dawn Derow puts finishing touches on cabaret project, "My Ship"

Dawn Derow’s performance piece, My Ship: Songs From 1941, won her a MAC Award for Outstanding Female Vocalist. Now, the show–which you can see clips of above, and the entire first half of here–is getting the album treatment, and is nearly closed to finished.

Sessions have been wide-ranging to get a full, old-fashioned orchestra feeling. Along with Derow and her producer Paul Rolnick, Dubway engineer Zach Grappone recorded trumpet, saxophone, trombone, a layered string section, clarinet, flute, and more, to capture the feeling of the time.

Check out some video of the sessions at Derow’s Instagram (linked at the top), and stay tuned for more!
