The lyric ‘a little bit country, a little bit rock and roll’ could have very well been written about Edmonton, Alberta-based powerhouse singer-songwriter Dahlia Wakefield. Her new album "Down This Road", which was written, produced and recorded almost completely online by Jim Stoeber of Tegancat Music, represents just over a year and a half of dedicated effort and follows her well-received debut CD, "Close to Home", both released on her independent record label, Squirrelly Girl Music. Dahlia creates heart-felt lyrics, memorable melodies and pours her soul into vocal performances that immediately captivate listeners.
A performer since age five, a high-ranking finalist in several international songwriting competitions and a Grant MacEwan Music Program graduate, Dahlia is a standout talent. With a strong, unique voice capable of interesting complexity, Dahlia spans easily from angelic and sensitive, to smooth and sensual, to raunchy and gutsy. Her musical direction explores popular avenues combining contemporary rock, pop, blues and a hint of modern country. If one must compare styles, the likes of Matchbox Twenty's Rob Thomas, Sheryl Crow, Alanis Morissette, and even Shania Twain come to mind... and then, of course, there are her influences of Fleetwood Mac, Bonnie Raitt, Amanda Marshall, Faith Hill, Jann Arden and so on. Dahlia's rich voice and contemporary-with-roots style allows her music to fit comfortably into almost any play-list or program.
Songs from "Down This Road" have caught the attention of local and Internet radio and Dahlia, as always, is keeping busy with more songwriting, performances and promotions. Her music was promoted with success to commercial radio in Europe and Australia. With full-length albums "Close to Home" and "Down This Road" released and several accolades at her feet, Dahlia Wakefield is a rising star set to shine bright and long.
