Throughout their career Amanda and Sheila have toured tirelessly, building their following the old-fashioned way, turning first time listeners into die-hard fans, winning 5 Canadian Folk Music Awards and a Juno nomination.
Dala has played all over North America and for the highest profile music festivals, among them New Orleans Jazz Fest, Philadelphia Folk Festival, Denver’s Swallow Hill, the Lowell Summer Concert Series, Strawberry Music Fest, Sisters Folk Festival the and 50th Anniversary of the Newport Folk Festival in 2009 – where Dala were the only Canadian act invited to play.
