DIRT ROAD ANGELS
​
From the dirt road to the main stage…the Dirt Road Angels have created quite a buzz in a short time. What started out as solo artists coming together to collaborate on one show, turned into a magical connection that has become an incredible musical project. The Edmonton based seasoned singer-songwriters, consisting of Dahlia Wakefield, Karen Claypool, Danita Lynn, and Shila Marie, formed the group in 2013 and have released three albums since their inception. Road Angels are also honoured to have been nominated for ACMA Group of the Year and Fan’s Choice five years in a row! These down-to-earth talented ladies continually strive to entertain their audiences everywhere they go and always come away with new fans.

The high energy Heart Tribute band “Brigade” was formed by powerhouse lead singer Dahlia Wakefield in October 2018 and consists of amazing Edmonton-based musicians authentically performing note-for-note Heart's greatest hits from the 70s through the 90s.
This dynamic tribute band has taken the Edmonton area by storm, playing to many full houses in and around Alberta. Brigade is looking forward to playing their “Heart” out at many more shows in the future and is taking their show on the road to a town near you!

The Dahlia & Alan Duo
Dahlia and Alan have been playing in various bands together as a team since 2000 after meeting at Mr. Entertainment where they both worked. Dahlia was fresh out of Grant MacEwan music college and then joined The X-Factor as a trio for the next 10 years, performing alongside Alan and Al Dobish. Since then, they have been performing together in Dahlia’s solo band - Dahlia and the Villains, the Dirt Road Angels as well as their duo. This dynamic duo strives to capture hearts everywhere they perform acoustically with their great mix of pop, rock and country tunes and their soulful harmonies.
