Projecting a full-bodied voice with every inch of her being, Dorothy Martin kindles a spark of hope into a flame as bright as the sun itself. The Budapest, Hungary-born maverick singer, songwriter, performer, and frontwoman of the Los Angeles-based eponymous band DOROTHY brings gusto, grit, and glory back to hard rock, exuding superstar-size confidence coupled with the quiet resolve of an old school Western anti-hero. She has unassumingly blazed her own trail with sold out tours, major collaborations, and over 1 billion streams already in the rearview. DOROTHY arrived with the force of a hurricane back in 2016, serving up the full-length debut ROCKISDEAD. Surging on DSPs, “Raise Hell” reeled in over 85 million Spotify streams followed by “Wicked Ones” with 77 million Spotify streams. The band organically attracted a diehard global fanbase with 28 Day in the Valley [2018] and Gifts From The Holy Ghost [2022]. KERRANG! hailed the latter as “a hot-blooded rock ‘n’ roll record through and through,” and RIFF raved, “Holy Ghost serves as a triumphant battle cry and a return to form.” Perhaps, Outburn put it best, “it’s her most bombastic and gloriously, victorious rock and roll work yet.” Simultaneously, the singer took flight as the rare dynamo equally at home on a track with Slash and Nita Strauss of Alice Cooper or Staind and Scott Stapp of Creed. She even notably dueted with Stapp at the Grand Ole Opry. However, her vision really catches fire on the group’s fourth full-length album, The Way [Roc Nation], introduced by the single “Tombstone Town” [feat. Slash].

Join us for DPNC’s first BioBlitz on Saturday, May 2 and help us discover the incredible diversity of life right here at the Nature Center!

Special Guest Matisyahu We are UB40 featuring Ali Campbell, the founding member and lead singer of UB40. Ali left the original band in 2008 citing management issues and was vindicated when said managers were struck off. Ali was then reunited with Astro when he left the original band in 2013. Ali and Astro took the world by storm, captivating audiences everywhere they went, releasing three new albums together reaching number 2 in the UK charts. Heartbreakingly, Astro passed away after a very short illness in November 2021 after they’d finished their incredible fourth album – Unprecedented. Matisyahu There is a spirit that hovers above the waters. It has been here since the beginning of creation, yet it is just being born. Ancient Child is Matisyahu’s 8th full length studio album. In Jewish mysticism, eight is the number beyond the natural cycle of the physical world. As Matisyahu brings forth his eighth studio album, the Ancient Child simultaneously reaches back in time and towards the future, in search of the infinite divine light of redemption. Here, Matisyahu finds himself reconnected with his Jewish identity and spirituality in a world post October 7th. In a climate that has become obsessed with being “right” and defending its ego at all costs, the Ancient Child investigates questions about history, identity and destiny from the humility of a child through the wisdom of the of generations’ past. While Matisyahu had shifted his focus over the last decade to his personal life from his religion, Ancient Child is a strong return to his love for Judaism and the deep existential quest to find universal meaning in the darkness. So what does Matisyahu come up with? When the world turns to darkness, humanity has a choice – hide in a corner or meet at the crossroads and find a way to come together.
