Vancouver’s Dalannah delivers a smouldering set, the kind that goes over better on festival stages than in dark and dingy clubs. She exhibits remarkable control – one can almost see her working the crowd as she struts through the program, pouring her soul into every note.
John Taylor
Canadian Blues Magazine
"Dalannah has developed a unique and exciting vocal style, pulling from the roots of the blues, gospel and jazz artists she has obviously immersed herself in. Expanding her songwriting skills with new songs that fit her perfectly, Dalannah has recorded an excellent blues album.”
Steve Dawson
Black Hen Records, Nov 2011
“Remarkable work... Dalannah’s voice is both expressive and harmonious... she’ll give you chills all over... a truly original work”
Musiczine (France)
“Her style has been described as Billie Holiday meets Howlin’ Wolf and she’s known for having “a truly spectacular set of pipes… Smoky. Earthy. Soulful. Powerful.”
Canadian Musician
“The blues of this unceded land can be heard in her voice. She marries music, generosity and celebration.”
