Thursday night was Girls From The North Country, and the lovely ladies of Dala, Sheila and Amanda, were simply brilliant! I had been waiting all week for this concert, and I was so happy to share it with my best gal pal Sarah . They girls sang a collection of their own songs, plus renditions from some of Canada's most legendary songwriters (Leonard Cohen, Neil Young, and Joni Mitchell)
From their high school music class all the way to Massey Hall, Amanda and Sheila of Dala have come a long way in a short time. These two best friends have brought their signature style of acoustic pop music to audiences across Canada, touring with the likes of Jann Arden, Tom Cochrane, Matthew Good and most recently Stuart McLean of the CBC’s Vinyl Café. Dala's last two albums , 2006's "Angels and Thieves" and 2007's "Who Do You Think You Are" earned them a total of four Canadian Folk Music Award nominations. Their videos have been featured on Bravo, CMT, Much More Music and MTV. Their fourth album "Everyone Is Someone" is slated for release in June, and the first single "Levi Blues" has already started to climb the charts.
