Dala, an acoustic duo from Toronto made up of Sheila Carabine and Amanda Walther, tie pop sensibility, sublime singing and spacious arrangements into the irresistible knot of Dala. Self-described as on the “poppier side of folk and the folkier side of pop,” they weave beautiful flights of melody and harmony, reminiscent of the Everly Brothers and Emmylou Harris.
The Undesirables, roots music / blues / folk, are Corin Raymond and Sean Cotton. The Undesirables are inspired by anyone who is honest and on fire, who is saying something real and doing it with conviction and colour. If you stumbled upon a tavern where Tom Waits, Ray Bradbury, Jim Morrison, and Charles Dickens were huddled in a corner exchanging stories, perhaps eavesdropping on them would give you a better idea of what to expect from this Toronto duo.
