Dress Rehearsal Released April 11th in UK
Dress Rehearsal is the second album by multi-award winner Canadian singer-songwriter Carolyn Dawn Johnson. The title song of her second album, Dress Rehearsal, underscores the tough truth that a dress rehearsal is exactly what life isn’t – that what we have instead is a perpetually brand-new moment that you have a single chance to make memorable. That is her philosophy and the new album illustrates it stunningly. In a genre whose history is littered with disappointing second albums by promising singer-songwriters overwhelmed by the demands of stardom, Carolyn has outdone her acclaimed first effort by a mile and has been rewarded with top 10 chart positions in Canada and America.
