Sunday, Aug. 4 at 8 p.m., DALA will perform (with Dave Sear opening). Great Neck’s Dave Sear will start the evening off with his powerful, knee-slapping, foot-stomping folk music. Sear has shared the stage with every folk singer over the years, from Woody Guthrie to Pete Seeger.
Best known as host/producer of the nationally syndicated “Folk Music Almanac” broadcast over public radio stations all over the United States, Sear is also a gifted musician/songwriter. Sear presents an exciting, live concert singing about life across generations and takes a broad look at America through the eyes of songwriters as diverse as Bob Dylan and Merle Haggard.
Join us for this historical journey by a man who has lived it, sung it and brings it to life through his music.
DALA, (Sheila Carabine and Amanda Walther) is a Canadian acoustic-folk two-piece musical group. They met in their high school music class, bonding over their shared love of music and wrote their first song together in 2002.
Their first record was then released on an independent label in 2005 and was swiftly snapped up by Universal that same year. Their recent live album, “Girls from the North Country,” earned them their first Juno Award nomination. Drawing upon influences like The Beatles, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young and Bob Dylan, DALA looks for their own musical plane and are successful at creating their own personal style. They write songs that are catchy and create the rich harmonies that have become their trademark. A soprano and an alto voice that sing from the heart, it is certain to be a magical evening.
