Duo performed at Dobro fest

we've basically been playing
together ever since.”

Performing in a rock band

became less appealing as their .
. own material developed. “We
_just got fairly tired of playing
in bars and the more we did
this acoustic stuff realized that
we could actually do this and
not starve.”

: Zubot’s primary instru-
ments are violin and mandolin
while Dawson works from an

+ assortment of guitars. “My

“main one is an Hawaiian slide |

guitar. The one I've got is sort

who invented them in the
°20s. They're like an acoustic
guitar except they have a really
large hollow neck and you
play it on your lap.”

Dawson plays Hawaiian
slide on about half the sengs
— but there are also lots of
surprises in store for listeners.
On “Tolina,” off their new
CD, Zubot plays a $15 read-
side synth as well as mandolin,
tremolo fiddle and violin sec-
tion. Other musicians help out
on the disc including Cap
College jazzman Brad Turner.

In concert, Zubor and
Dawson almost always play as
a trio, bringing in Marlow
Hoider on bass. “On our new

‘CD he plays more of a rote,”

says Dawson. “On the first
albura we just sort of threw it
on as a laver. Since we've been
playing live together we real-
ized that was a real part of the
sound.”

For their performance at
Cap College. Zubot and
Dawson will aiso bring along
percussionist Jean Martin.
“We've never played with him
before — we decided we
wanted to have that element
of suspense — because we
don’t really know what's
going to happen. It’s probably
the only time we'll play with
this configuration in
Vancouver.”

During the summer,
Zubot and Dawson travelled
to Eastern Europe to perform
at the annual Dobro festival.

“We got back about pve

on aseseomaere ts

weeks ago from Slovakia. Ir
was amazing. It’s like a
whole different planet. The
festival we played at was
close to Bratislava which is
about half'an hour from
Vienna. The difference
between those two places is

amazing. Slovakia hasn’t real-
ly gotren on its feet yet as far
as the econoniy is concerned.
There's nuclear power plants
all over the place and the
cities are fairly run down.
They're just starting to figure
stuff out like how to put on

music festivals — stuff that
we take for granted.”

Zubot and Dawson rarely
perform in Vancouver, mak- .
ing this 'a rare opportunity ;
for fans te catch them live.
Don’t miss it.
