  Cliff Dawe a Traditional Country Artist whose venue is leader, lead vocalist, rhythm guitar player with a band known as "Little Big Band" (Canadian Country Version) .
  His female counterpart in the act was Anna Perreault. They played bar, lounge, fair, cabaret and rodeo venues throughout Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario Canada!
  Cliff started this act in 1988 and continues as a solo act today.
  
  Cliff misses his music a great deal as recently he has fought a battle with bladder cancer which has prevented him from performing presently, he has successfully done well to control his cancer to remission and would like to get back into the swing of things with his music!
  
  The songs chosen for this site are from an album that he and Anna Perreault put together called, "Boomerang"!
  
  Anna Perreault sings harmony on the chorus lines and duets with Cliff Dawe on various songs throughout the album.
  
  Cliff is an independent artist who came close to being signed with Warner Brothers ( Canada Ltd. ) and was offered a contract by Comstock Record?s executive Frank Fara out of Scottsdale, Arizona, but because of difficulties dealing and commuting back and forth between Canada and USA the deal didn?t materialize!
  
  Cliff also had the same experience with Joey Welz of Caprice Records out of Philidelphia, so I guess lightning does strike twice!
  
  Hence, there is a situation in getting airplay on , "Main Stream" radio in being an "Independent" as well as being a "Traditional Country Singer", and that is why he only sends his music to radio stations and media that are interested in "Independent" artists!
  
  During 1990 ? 1991 Cliff received extensive air-play in Europe and Canada from compilations with RDR promotions out of Toronto. Cliff presently gets regular airplay from KSEN Radio in Shelby Montana, Radio Artistopia and indieboom.com, Olive's Brain.com.,WDYN Radio and various other internet stations and websites!
  
  Cliff has come close to reaching his goal and has seen the promised land which makes him more determined than ever to hang one on the wall and get invited to dinner! A feat that is even more difficult these days for Independent Traditional Country Singers especially on Main Stream radio, however Cliff says if he didn't succeed with Traditional Country Music he really wouldn't want to bother with it!
  
  For Cliff it is about the music, the art and a way of communicating and preserving a Lifestyle!
  
  This time around Cliff is handling the job himself and learning a whole new trade in the process! Cliff said," I need to pray, need a little luck, need a few friends so I can eat tomorrow and play today"! This time around it is time to enjoy the music , to just be myself and not be so concerned with the steeple chase
  
  My main objective now is to be able to earn a living promoting and singing Traditional Country Music!
