Dionne WarwickMother’s Day is nearly upon us and, while you should spend time with Mom, you can also spend some of the day with your Auntie.
That is, your Auntie Dionne Warwick, as the revered pop and soul chanteuse is known to her legion of fans on Twitter and far beyond. Having tested the livestreaming waters first with an online 80th birthday party in December and an Easter concert in April, Warwick will be back for a pair of Mother’s Day shows May 9 via the Mandolin streaming platform.
Warwick’s digital juggernaut is one of most remarkable examples of an artist making the absolute most of the downtime forced upon live entertainers by the COVID pandemic.
