Bonnie Dobson is a Canadian folk singer and songwriter best known for her haunting anti-war ballad “Morning Dew,” a song that became a staple of the 1960s folk revival and was later widely covered by artists like the Grateful Dead, Tim Rose, and Robert Plant. Born in Toronto, Dobson emerged in the early 1960s as part of the North American folk scene, performing alongside other influential figures of the era.
Her music blends traditional folk sounds with insightful, often socially conscious lyrics. In addition to “Morning Dew,” her work includes a mix of original material and interpretations of traditional songs. Dobson eventually moved to the United Kingdom, where she took a step back from performing for many years, but her legacy continued to influence folk and rock musicians alike. She has since returned to music with new recordings that showcase her timeless voice and thoughtful songwriting.
