Dosey Doe Coffee House presents Christen Sawyer & Jolie Holliday & Wendy Colonna.

Christen Sawyer: Christen Sawyer is a 21 year old singer/songwriter out of Houston, Texas. She discovered her love for music early on, singing Tina Turner at the top of her lungs from her booster seat. In fact, her musical style stems from a very eclectic list of influences. From her dad's classic rock to her mom's country & pop, there was never any shortage of music around the house. That variety of musical background is what drew Christen’s attention to the “red dirt” style of music. Its edginess and rock-powered sounds were captivating.

Jolie Holliday: (pictured) International Country Music Star Jolie Holliday was born in Dallas, Texas in 1981. As a little girl, she was mesmerized by her mother, who was an avid singer/songwriter, and her love of music.  All these years later, Jolie has managed to stay true to her roots.  Jolie continues to treat fans to her amazing live performances! With hand clapping, foot stomping, get-up-out-of-your-seat and dance shows that include a medley of her own hits, as well as timeless country favorites, Jolie’s electrifying concerts remain a top priority for this truly gifted performer.

Wendy Colonna:  Wendy Colonna is a Louisiana girl with a blend of Cajun and Italian ancestry; a perfectly sexy combo that translates well. A young woman who has decidedly come into her own, the dark-eyed Colonna fills up her musical space with deep-down retro roots and soul flavor. Having begun as a teenager singing around the small, conservative city of Lake Charles, Louisiana (“I didn’t ask to be in this business when I was 19”, says Colonna, “it just happened organically.”) and showcasing her songwriting abilities, with her voice, then only secondary, Colonna learned early the power of roots music as an expression of one’s surroundings.

Like a rock in hurricane, Colonna will continue to move through the music business with the wind behind her, a force of nature that is consistent, strong and rich, like her pipes and her stories.
