Exciting News from Dahlia Wakefield!

Awards Nomination!

I am so honored to announce that I have been nominated in six categories for the 2026 International Singer Songwriter Awards (ISSA)!! 🎉 If you could take a moment to vote for me, I'd greatly appreciate it! Here is the link! Vote for Dahlia!

You can vote once a day per device for the entire month of April!! Finalists are announced on May 2nd, and the awards show is in August in Atlanta! I would absolutely love to go! I'll keep you posted on the results! 😊

Album Update!

So far, I have recorded eight songs with my amazing band (Alan Tymofichuk, Dennis Boisvert, Jeff Godley, and Kevin Frey) at Dominelli Studios! 🎶 Three more will be recorded in May. I was originally going to release in June, but since we've been delayed due to various musicians' hectic schedules, I will be releasing in October 2026. I feel good about this decision because now I won't be rushing! After all, good things come to those who wait, right?

Everything in this album comes from my heart and soul, not created by AI. That's why it's taking a bit longer, but I am enjoying every minute of the process! I'm making sure each song is just how I want it presented. I was also going to do a pre-sale, but I've decided to delay it just a bit. Stay tuned!

I am, however, super excited to say that my new single "Light of the Phoenix" will be released next month! More details to come. Please follow me on all my socials—TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and more!

Teaching and Upcoming Performances!

Wowza! I can't believe this year marks 15 years as a music teacher!! 🎉 I’m still teaching vocals and beginner piano in St. Albert at Visionary Center for the Performing Arts and at KPA Music in Stony Plain. Since it’s Spring break, I took the first two weekends of April off! It’s nice to finally get caught up with paperwork and other projects that have been on the backburner!

I also still sing at various retirement homes and long-term care centers, and I love it! I don’t advertise those as they are private performances. Here are my public performances:

• Sunday, April 12 at 7 PM - Moyer Rec Center, Josephburg, AB with Twilight Time. For Tickets: Get Tickets Here!

• Wednesday, April 15 at 7:30 PM - Palace Theatre, Daysland, AB. For Tickets: Get Tickets Here!

I’m especially pumped for my upcoming performance on Saturday, July 25th with Brigade Heart Tribute band at Cornstock '26 in Taber, AB! We will be opening for Colin James, Honeymoon Suite, Headpins, and Nick Gilder of Sweeney Todd! It’s going to be a great weekend of classic rock!! 🎸 Get your tickets HERE!
