The Bass Queen of Cow Town is going big time.

Savanna Dohner, the most talented person we know (it’s not even close, so stop arguing) is taking her bass and hitting the road.

For reals.

The one-time wild child of the Coupeville High School band is joining Seattle-based rock band Valadares for their West Coast tour, which includes a slot in the Battle of the Bands when the Vans Warped Tour hits Auburn.

Other dates Dohner’s scheduled to slap the bass at include:

July 24 — Seattle/ El Corazon
July 27 — Portland/ Hawthorne Theatre
July 29 — Hollywood/ Whiskey A Go Go
Aug. 1 — Tucson/ The Rock
Aug. 7 — Boise/ The Crux

Savanna Dohner: Freakin' American Hero.

Savanna Dohner: a freakin’ American hero.

In a sea of bright shining lights, one shines brightest.

Not by a little. By a lot.

Savanna Dohner may not be playing sports right now, but she is, hands down and bass guitar in the air, the single most talented, vivacious force of nature currently camped in Coupeville.

Not that she’ll be here forever. The world awaits.

Miss Dohner, who turns 16 today, radiates charm, warmth and grace from every pore.

Top liberally with talent, the kind handed down directly from the heavens above, and she is pretty freakin’ special.

In a moment, a month, a year, she will be huge. It’s not if, it’s merely when.

Whether it’s playing the bass or modeling or any of a thousand other talents she most assuredly possesses, Savanna is destined to be the one who we one day look back on, nod and say, “Yep, knew she’d hit big.”

And yet, what makes it even better is she doesn’t appear to be swept away by her own talents.

She remains as giddy and goofy as she has ever been, and it’s nice to see her grow more confident in herself with each passing day.

May you reach all your dreams, Savanna.

Today’s a big day for you, but there will be a ton more big days to come. Of that I have no doubt.

I would tell you to stay awesome, but you were born that way and just seem to keep getting a little more amazing each day.

Fly high, Bass Queen of Cow Town. No one can hold you down, Savanna.
