Dalannah is now 77 years old as of Oct 12th 2022 and has been singing professionally for more than half a century. Her music career began in Winnipeg, Manitoba with an all-female group called the Feminine Touch. Winnipeg was a thriving music community at the time and Feminine Touch had the good fortune to tour Canada and open shows for groups that included the Guess Who and The Monkees. Back in Winnipeg Dalannah performed at the Town & Country Lounge with jazz guitarist Lenny Breau. During this period, she also worked with New York’s Clifford Barbaro and jazz greats like PJ Perry, Earl Seymour and others.

Moving to Edmonton – another thriving music scene – Dalannah played with great bands like Everyman’s Tonto along with piano player Will MacCalder and the boys. It was the decade of the 1970’s, a time of change and their band played many of the festivals that were springing up all over western Canada as well as taking the stage as the opening act for Thin Lizzy, Chilliwack and other rock groups passing through the city.

Beyond performing, Dalannah participated in the LeDain Commission, a government sponsored study that explored the possibility of marijuana legalization.. a study that took place about 40 years before legalization actually happened. Getting involved here was the beginning of Dalannah’s life long vocation of working for change. Around this time Dalannah also worked with Graeme & the Wafers, a band that evolved into Stony Plain, performing with Pat Coleman, Geoff Eyre, Bruce Nessel and Al Treen. “This band taught me about how powerful original music could be. We played arenas and you could hear a pin drop.”
