New Recording Artist brings life to USO

By KATHERINE ROTH

Associated Press Writer

NEW YORK (AP) -- While most of the world knows Dawnmarie as well as their own front door, military service-men and women have had the opportunity to witness this young lady shine since the age of 5. Now 32, Dawnmarie has brought military performances that were made well-known to non-military civilians by celebrity Bob Hope, back to life. For years military entertainment has been provided by commissioned and non-commissioned performers gathered from all over the glode that were willing to volunteer their time by providing the best entertainment shows to our military while they served overseas during times of war and temporary assignments. Entertainment for our troops was a way to keep them up to date with what was going on at home; to help overcome tads of home-sickness and to show support and encouragement for the sacrifices they have made to serve our country. Over the last few years the interest for these shows has decreased and the USO organization and the Department of Defense have been trying to find ways to built it back up to the stature that it held in the days of Bob Hope. Now, at last, with this young lady's assistance they believe they can do that. In 1992 Dawnmarie was the highlighted performer for Desert Storm, however when she returned to the states she disappeared from the military spotlight due to the emotional impact it left. It wasn't until 1995 when she began courting a Corporal of the U.S. Marine Corps stationed at Twenty-Nine Palms, CA, Combat Training Center, that she realized performing for the military was in her blood as serving our country was to our servicemen and women. Her discovery was brought to life in two songs written and dedicated to her Marine-friend and in turn dedicated to all servicemen and women and has been performed and acknowledged through her performances at over 50 military functions, including 7 Anniversary Balls for the U.S. Marine Corps; U.S. Navy, and U.S. Army. In 1999, Dawnmarie signed with Tamara Records in Nashville and released two songs, " All the Tea In China" and "Drowning in the Wishing Well". As a new artist the songs were very marketable, however the funding for distribution and mailing ran out and it became costly to continue pushing the songs. In 2000 a private investor stepped in to assist in the cost, and after the song was aired on smaller stations it sort of died out due to radio controlled program managers and their requirements to play the top 40 hits on the billboard charts. But this didn't discourage this talented young lady. She was introduced and sponsored into the MP3 internet sector where thousands of independent and signed artists are listed worldwide and her song " All the Tea in China" went to #7 on the charts within the first three months out of 70,000 women in music on the internet. One year later she had over 5,000 hits to her page and has sold over 2,000 albums. All of which were manufactured and distributed through MP3 at no extra cost to the artist. With a new release, "Take My Hand" as of March this year, Dawnmarie's CD sales are rising and although still no major label is supporting her, she says proudly that she enjoys the flexibility of having her own label and having the full control of her music in all aspects. You can also catch her music on Artistlaunch.com. With a two year law school degree under her belt, Dawnmarie feels confident that her law background has only helped her move up the ropes to where she is now. She had a bit of a rough year in 2002 where some health problems caused 20 shows in her local area to be cancelled for 6 weeks, but upon her recovery, she jumped right back on the stage and gave the city of St. Petersburg, Florida a taste of something they have never had. September 11, 2001 made an impact on everyone of us as people and as a nation. Military performances for USO are mostly geared for overseas servicemen and women, but with the anniversary of September 11th upon us and an idea, Dawnmarie, along with Military Officers, local firefighters and police officers who volunteered their time and a few local entertainer-friends, put together a one-hour mock USO show that brought customers at the Bilmar Beach Resort in St. Petersburg, Florida on September 7, 2003 to tears. She had truly touched everyone. "It is a really great feeling to be able to touch people in a place that is very sacred and private. It has always meant the most to me to be able to do something that was meaningful while making a difference in a positive way, without doing the wrong things to make it possible," she said, as she met with West Point officials in New York on Friday, September 20, 2003. "Serving our country as these fine men and women do, means making alot of sacrifices in their lives and putting aside their wants for protecting all of us that do not serve. This is my way of giving back, especially now when our shields have had to be raised and we wait daily to be protected from another terrorist attack as we saw on September 11th." As a native New Yorker and military dependant, Dawnmarie resides in Florida where she receives plenty of support for her military work and musical career. While she has not reached celebrity status in the public TV and Radio eyes, she has become a very important figure to the Department of Defense Entertainment Offices and although she does not feel she is like a celebrity in their eyes, she is proud to know she has made an impact in their hearts. This beautiful young lady comes from a family of very well-known entertainers including Metropolitan Opera's very own Mary-Theresa Mancini and composer, Henry Mancini, so we believe her time is not too far away. 2004 marks the 202th BiCentennial for West Point Military Academy/United States Army and the 226th Anniversary of the United States Marine Corps. Dawnmarie will be making appearances at both celebrations as an honorary guest performer in the upcoming year and is very excited. It is a great come-back for the Armed Force's Entertainment Division and as Vice Commander Holenberg stated in his final comments, " It is with great pleasure for us to have had Dawnmarie on our side all these years and we are so excited that she has continued to assist our department to strive at what it is best known for.."great entertainment from the heart"...something she truly has... and as her career plummets, I can guarantee that the United States Marine Corps and United States Army will be right by her side." ---On the Net: Dawnmarie: http://www.mp3.com/dawnmarie, or http://www.artistlaunch.com/dawnmarie Courtesy of the William Morris Agency, New York and Chanssonnier Entertainment.
