Dawna Hammers

Dawna started writing songs on the old upright piano in the cellar and would listen and sing along to records in her room for hours and hours. Dawna continued to study music at Weymouth South High School where she won the "Choral Award." She then attended Berklee College of Music for one year, studying voice and piano and joining the jazz choir.  Dawna joined a band; “Polaris,”  named by her mother just before she died in 1979. Dawna then decided to embark on her solo career as a songwriter. She continued to study music and spirituality, studying with amazing Native American and African American spiritual teachers such as The Venerable Dhyani Ywahoo of the Cherokee/Buddhist traditions and world-renowned Nigerian Master Drummer Babatunde Olatunji. Dawna has spent years singing for local community groups, schools, political rallies, powwows, spiritual services as well as in clubs, coffeehouses, and concerts throughout New England. She has also been teaching music, private piano, and voice lessons to children of all ages. Dawna was the director of the Children's Choir, as well as her own World Unity Choir in Burlington, VT. She is an amazing recording artist and has produced or co-produced 3 cassettes and 6 CD's of her original music. Her recordings are all very special and unique. Dawna is currently working on several new CDs, and wants to bring her music to a wider audience.
