Following the release of “Get Ready,” Toronto’s versatile, genre-defying singer-songwriter Katie Dauson returns with her infectious new single, “Will You Won’t You,” produced by James Nickle.


Drawing inspiration from 1950s rockabilly, especially The Crickets, as well as the 1970s revivalists who reimagined the style, including Blondie (who famously covered a Crickets song on their 1978 album Parallel Lines) and George Thorogood, Dauson blends vintage energy with a modern punch.


“I love George Thorogood’s guitar playing, and the fact that he added a saxophone player to his band in 1980,” she explains. “Saxophone is such an important instrument in rock and roll and rockabilly, it really elevated his music. Rockabilly is so upbeat and enjoyable. When I listen to a rockabilly record at home, I’ll tap my feet, sing along, and just feel uplifted. I love how some of the ’70s groups took that ’50s style and modernised it with more instrumentation and a different vibe.”


“Will You Won’t You” lives comfortably in the worlds of Rockabilly, Rock and Roll, and Country, balancing retro swing with contemporary edge. Dauson recorded the rhythm guitar using a left-handed G&L Comanche in Shoreline Gold, drawn to its distinctive Z-coil pickups for their unique tonal character. She also added a fuzz pedal to inject a touch of modern dirt and grit into the mix.


“With ‘Will You Won’t You,’ Katie Dauson delivers a vibrant, toe-tapping anthem that channels the spirit of classic rockabilly while injecting it with a bold, modern edge,” music publicist Danielle Holian, Decent Music PR, shares. “The track captures her signature blend of vintage inspiration and fearless individuality. It’s playful, gritty, and irresistibly catchy. This single really showcases Katie’s ability to honour the roots of rock and roll while making the sound entirely her own.”


Written early in the morning, when inspiration tends to strike as her mind feels fresh and rejuvenated, the song captures that spontaneous spark. Above all, Dauson hopes for one thing: that “Will You Won’t You” puts a smile on listeners’ faces.
