About Dauzat St. Marie
(pronounced “dough-zaht saynt mah-ree”)
Dauzat St. Marie is the creative partnership of Heather St. Marie and Mat Dauzat, two musicians whose lives and voices have been intertwined for years. Their sound is rooted in the tradition of soulful Americana peppered with Southern Rock, Folk, and Bluegrass influences built around “lockstep” vocal harmonies that only come from a deep, intuitive connection.
On stage, the dynamic is simple but mighty: Heather’s soaring, high-velocity vocals find a perfect counterpoint in Mat’s intricate guitar work, driving rhythmic percussion, and signature vocal harmonies. The songs are honest, relatable, and explore all corners of the human experience – love, loss, and the quiet resilience required to persevere. This sincerity and authenticity has resonated on a grand scale, leading their song “Where Were You?” to the 2021 Grammy® Awards ballot in three categories, including Song of the Year, and having their song “In It Together” and its music video adopted by the American Cancer Society for a national Breast Cancer Awareness campaign by that same name.
Having toured with legendary acts like Sammy Hagar, REO Speedwagon, Pat Benatar, and Rick Springfield, and having sharing stages with many more including Jefferson Starship, The Marshall Tucker Band, Rick Derringer, Sheila E., Dauzat St. Marie is very much at home on the big stage. In fact, beyond their own live show, Mat and Heather were enlisted to be Guitarist/Backing Vocalist, and Backing Vocalist for Grammy Award-winning music icon Seal on his Seal 30th. Anniversary World Tour – celebrating the anniversary of his pivotal first two albums.
With soaring harmonies, heartfelt songwriting, and a road-tested live show, Dauzat St. Marie continues to craft music that connects long after the final note.
