	DAGMAR (Andrea Dagmar Brown) Vocals Photo by R.K.Swenson Dagmar grew up listening to rock'n'roll greats while training classically as a musician and vocalist. She writes many of her own songs and put Dagmar and The Seductones together in December 2001, seeking to meld a mix of original material and roots music: they've been rockin' and rollin' ever since. She is a dynamic entertainer and her electric presence and sultry soaring style have engaged audiences in diverse venues, from festivals to swing dances, concerts to clubs, historic hotels to honky tonks, ballrooms to barn dances. She toured Europe and Africa, entertaining the troops at U.S. Navy bases. She was featured on National Public Radio early in her career; in 2007, she received the Golden Viking Award for Best Album and was featured on BLUES DELUXE, a nationally syndicated radio show. Hear her on Dagmar and The Seductones' debut CD, Little Bitta Love released by TYM Records in 2004 and on their new CD, Come Back To Me, released in Spring 2007.
