"Dozier fits all of the
adjectives. He is warm, communicative, and polished to a
sheen. He sings like a dream and tells cute stories, focusing on
the lyrics with musical savvy to back it up. This is a
blue-chip, professionally delivered, engaging program by a
charming singer.
If there is such a thing as an
all-around cabaret guy, he is it."
"Kevin
Dozier has a baritone fully stocked with feeling, especially as
it lifts into higher-register reaches. Dozier is worth
keeping on your radar for several reasons. There's the voice, of
course, but how he deploys the voice is of particular interest."
"Together, Dozier and Marlowe make a formidable musical team...confidence and joy radiate out of Dozier and he's a pleasure to watch. ...it's a testament to Dozier and Marlowe that "Over the Rainbow" is on the of the highlights of the show. Sensitive and understated, and possessing a rapturously gorgeous arrangement, Dozier's mellifluous reading is astonishing." ~ David Hurst, Cabaret Scenes ~ full review
"Dozier’s greatest talent is
bringing emotion to the words and lyrics. Whether it’s a silly
song like “Potato” or a poignant “Before We Say Goodbye,” he
captivates. When Kevin Dozier sings, you listen…and you’re glad
you did."
"After ten years in San Francisco where he was named ‘Male
Cabaret Performer of the Year,’ out singer Kevin Dozier has
returned with an auspicious New York debut at Don’t Tell Mama.
Cleaned up, revamped and under new ownership, Don’t Tell Mama is
the perfect club for Introducing Kevin Dozier, a show
that heralds a singer brimming over with talent, but with an
old-fashioned structure that harkens back to glory days of this
venerable nightspot. Smoothly directed by Scott Barnes with
gorgeous accompaniment by musical director Christopher Marlowe,
Dozier is the kind of humpy Chelsea boy Noel Coward would invite
up to tea. Oh, and he can sing, too!"
"Could this be the
beginning of something big? The Empire Plush Room booked into the room
three new talents. "The glorious form of entertainment known as cabaret was served up in delightful fashion earlier this week, as part of Copia's Monday night concert series. Comic Jeff Applebaum introduced sensational singer, San Francisco's Kevin Dozier. A young man who'd stepped out of the spotlight to pursue a business career, Dozier is now back where he belongs. His heartwrenching ballad, "Words He Doesn't Say" (penned by Barry Harman, lyrics, and Keith Herrman, music, for an obscure Broadway show, "Romance, Romance") made for watery eyes. This heartfelt lament gave way to a rousing showstopper from the current Broadway production of "Thoroughly Modern Millie" -- "Gimme, Gimme." Dozier is a young man to watch." ~ Napa News |

"Viva Variety is about to take its final bow,
with just one more show scheduled in November. The series, which started
in April 1999, has featured over 480 acts. Each queer-friendly show has
been a fundraiser for a different charity.
The opening act was winner of the SF Cabaret Competition, Kevin Dozier, a sweet lyric tenor, who gave his last SF performance, as he is moving to New York in a few weeks. He sang "What More Can I Say": "We laugh, we fumble, we take it day by day," with the proper same-sex lyrics of man-to-man romance." ~ San Francisco Bay Times |

Not
singing for 10 years seems not to have hampered vocalist Kevin
Dozier, who brought many to tears with a beautiful ballad from
"Falsettos". Kevin has a beautiful, natural voice that touches
the soul. ~ Steve Murray - Viva Variety "First there was New Faces of 1955. Now the Empire Plush Room is bringing us an updated look at the new faces of 2004. They have put together an amazing array of talent like Heather Macrae, Debbie De Coudreaux, Mark Brignone, Kevin Dozier, Sony Holland, Kim Kuzma & Blair Shepard. Sure to please is Kevin Dozier who was named Male Performer of the Year in the San Francisco Cabaret Competition." ~ beyondchron.org |
