Dawn Tyler Watson, backed by members of the Ben Racine Band, continues to represent Quebec internationally after taking top honors at the 2017 International Blues Challenge (IBC). There, she distinguished herself in the band category among more than 260 blues artists who came to Memphis from all over the world to take part in the annual six-day event organized by the Blues Foundation. The first Canadian to win the prestigious award, she is also the first woman to win it in 25 years. In 2020, the accolades and trophies continued to roll in! The artist also won two Maple Blues Awards in Canada: Recording and Producer of the Year, and Songwriter of the Year.
