The Live Wire Music Series kicks off their new season on Sat. Sept.26 at the Octave Theatre with a double-bill featuring two great Canadian groups - Toronto's Dala and Montreal's The Echo Hunters.
Dala, who some may know from their frequent appearances with Stuart MacLean on the Vinyl Cafe, was a huge hit at this summer's Newport Folk Festival, and have had a very busy summer of music festivals in Canada as well. Their beautiful harmonies are Dala's most distinctive feature, and their songwriting and very engaging live performances have made them one of the busiest young duos in Canada. Check out their website to see and hear more. www.dalagirls.com
The Echo Hunters are the favourite sons of the Montreal roots music scene and will come to Kingston fresh from their summer tour of England and Scotland. Their music is an original and eclectic mix that is often compared to Neil Young and Crosby Stills and Nash. www.echohunters.com Below are some press quotes from their U.K. tour.
Echo Hunters U.K. quotes:
The Independent : A brilliant Canadian indie-folk group who mix gothic, Americana (OK Canadiana) with a Seventies Laurel Canyon vibe.
The Scotsman : very easy on the ear, with echoes of Crosby Stills and Nash and 1970s California in the general ambience. .. the melodies really sing.
Hifi News : The time may be right for this Montreal septet who deliver the kind of songs CSN seem to have long since forgotten how to write. There's more Stills & Young than Crosby or Nash in this lot, but it hardly matters, because their freshness & verve compensate amply for any lack of harmonic sweetening.
