Beginning in the shadows of the Rocky Mountains in Fort Collins, Colorado, Kim Kopp and Dawnia Dresser (formerly Carlson), packed up the guitars and drove over a thousand miles to California to sing, write and record as Vertigo Road, a name to reflect the dizzy and winding path that continues to define their musical journey. Their music is described as simply refreshing and powerful. They are moving musical storytellers and "creative soul-mates", whose intense vocal harmonies flow effortlessly around one another taking audiences on a winding musical journey through their relationships...
Their music is described as simply refreshing and powerful. They are moving musical storytellers and "creative soul-mates", whose intense vocal harmonies flow effortlessly around one another taking audiences on a winding musical journey through their relationships, their revelry and, ultimately, their unwavering sense of spirit. In the words of Music Connection Magazine, "Some of the tightest dual harmonies we've heard in quite a while come from this pair."
Known to audiences as "Some of L.A.'s best Acoustic Renaissance musicians", this duo's third release Pieces is entertaining, captivating and inspiring. As described by the artists, these are songs that came from a place of faith, healing and playfulness.
Fresh from the studio, Vertigo Road continues to solidify that it will get a lot of mileage out of its unique sound, amazing songwriting and its unquestionable ability to move audiences. Stunningly aware lyrics and use of eclectic instrumentation are acutely defined in their recordings. From slide guitar to flugelhorn, or Hammond B3 to didgeridoo, nothing disappoints.
Over the past decade Vertigo Road has honed their craft both in the studio and on the stage. They have mastered writing and production skills, while giving their audiences a smart, sexy and well-seasoned performance every single time.
In 2008, Kim Kopp adds a new path to the Vertigo Road experience with additional solo gigs stretching into the summer, while Dawnia and Doug Dresser welcome their first baby into their loving family. And always stay tuned for Vertigo Road's ongoing studio collaboration of new songs.
