I think if I had to pick a career highlight, this lineup alone from the 2009 @newportfolkfest would be it. Was this even real?? K, back to my windex ❤️Sheila

Wow, @john_mcdermott_tenor has released an absolut Wow, @john_mcdermott_tenor has released an absolutely gorgeous version of our song “Christmas Time Is Not The Same”. This is our first time having a song of ours recorded and released by a friend, and we couldn’t be more proud. Doesn’t get much better than @marklalama on piano, @jason_eric_fowler on guitar and @drewjurecka on strings. Thank you John, for the gift of this truly moving performance. This song feels even more relevant this year, so have a listen! 🎄❤️
And just like that you’ll be swept away❤️ Co And just like that you’ll be swept away❤️ Congratulations to @amanda.walther and @marklalama on the release of their first official single as @dizzyfay, “I Wish That You Were Here”. Perfect for when the lights outside start to fade (basically at 3pm these days) and the lights inside start to glow. It makes me nostalgic for all the Holiday traditions and gatherings I probably took for granted in years passed. Most importantly, it’s a truly beautiful track, lyrically, vocally, piano-y , and @drewjurecka’s orchestration is unrivaled as ever. Now streamable and downloadable worldwide. Here’s to a gorgeous musical getaway, all from the comfort of home:) xo SC

Testimonials

Dala can sing! What beautiful flights of melody and harmony, reminiscent of the Everly Brothers, the Louvin Brothers, Emmylou Harris and associates; though Dala can trade a melody line and leave one wondering who is taking the lead and simply leave one behind when the harmonies kick in.
Peterborough Examiner
Dala seem bound for a loftier place where substance stands equal to style.
The Irish Times
There’s nothing pretentious about Dala’s music; it’s stripped down and laid bare. That’s not to say it is without polish – far from it. Sheila Carabine and Amanda Walther have worked hard to exploit every facet of their extraordinary musical blend, and it would be just as at home in a 1960s coffeehouse as it is now on the contemporary concert stage.
Andrew Craig, Host of CBC “Canada Live”
