So Close To Loving You ( 2:37 )

A song about the choices and decisions we have to make in our lives. Sometimes with good or bad consequences!
Cliff Dawe a Traditional Country Artist whose venue is leader, lead vocalist, rhythm guitar player with a band known as "Little Big Band" (Canadian Country Version) . His female counterpart in the act was Anna Perreault. They played bar, lounge, fair, cabaret and rodeo venues throughout Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario Canada! Cliff started this act in 1988 and continues as a solo act today. Cliff misses his music a great deal as recently he has fought a battle with bladder cancer which has prevented him from performing presently, he has successfully done well to control his cancer to remission and would like to get back into the swing of things with his music! The songs chosen for this site are from an album that he and Anna Perreault put together called, "Boomerang"! Anna Perreault sings harmony on the chorus lines and duets with Cliff Dawe on various songs throughout the album. Cliff is an independent artist who came close to being signed with Warner Brothers ( Canada Ltd. ) and was offered a contract by Comstock Record’s executive Frank Fara out of Scottsdale, Arizona, but because of difficulties dealing and commuting back and forth between Canada and USA the deal didn’t materialize! Cliff also had the same experience with Joey Welz of Caprice Records out of Philidelphia, so I guess lightning does strike twice! Hence, there is a situation in getting airplay on , “Main Stream” radio in being an "Independent ” as well as being a “Traditional Country Singer”, and that is why he only sends his music to radio stations and media that are interested in” Independent” artists! During 1990 1991 Cliff received extensive air-play in Europe and Canada from compilations with RDR promotions out of Toronto. Cliff presently gets regular airplay from KSEN Radio in Shelby Montana, Radio Artistopia and indieboom.com Ram Radio Live365.com/stations/lorojo and supercountryradio.com as well as others!

Band/artist history
Cliff Dawe and Anna Perreault started "Little Big Band", in 1988 and it continues today. They played bar, lounge, fair, cabaret and rodeo venues throughout Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario Canada! When we started off we tried out several musicians and couldn't come up with members that fit with Anna Perreault and Cliff Dawe musically and when they found members that fit musically, then those members didn't fit in personality wise! So what they had to do was go out and purchase a synthesizer so that drums and bass etc. could be implemented into their sound to fill in for the missing players! As Cliff played rhythm guitar, Anna played piano and synthesizer - this filling in made the duo sound like a full band - This large sound that they had between the two of them is what made them decide to call themselves, "Little Big Band", and were registered as such in 1988. During 1990 1991 Cliff received extensive air-play in Europe and Canada from compilations with RDR promotions( Anya Wilsons Company )out of Toronto, Ontario! Today cliff is doing his own promoting and learning a whole new skill in this music business!
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Yes, however; Cliff recently has fought a battle with bladder cancer which has prevented him from performing presently, he has successfully done well to control his cancer to a remissive state (Is now out of the danger zone )and would like to get back with his first love, his music! Cliff is just now recovering, reforming and putting the pieces back together. When Cliff's Doctors' give his health the go ahead for him to go back into clubs, lounges and casinos and perform, he'll be back "On the Road Again!"
