Live Wire favourites DALA are coming back to Kingston! Dala is Toronto-based, Juno-nominated duo Sheila Carabine and Amanda Walther. With incomparable vocal harmonies, emotionally resonant songwriting, and deeply personal and engaging live shows, Dala have made a signature name for themselves in the Canadian Folk scene. 14 years have passed since their last studio album, and Dala are back with brand new music and a revitalized creative vision. The pair have remained active in the intervening years, continuing to tour, write, and perform. Their much anticipated new album, The Big Bang, reflects an exciting new chapter in the beloved duo’s long-standing artistic and personal connection.
