DAKOTA BLONDE - Soulful, delicate, powerful, insightful… all that and more,”
are the words Michael Johnson (International recording artist/song-writer) uses
to describe Dakota Blonde. “Highly addictive & absolutely contagious” is how
their loyal & captivated audiences describe them! Any way you put it, Dakota
Blonde, made up of Mary Huckins, Don Pinnella & Tony Raddell have played and
sung their way into countless hearts & souls around the globe! They met through
their careers in Music Therapy and yes… they have a special knack for including
audiences in their music and finding the heart strings that music plays in all of
us. This special capacity for empathy could explain the titanium bond the band quickly
forms with their audiences. Performing originals and covers with their unique blend
of heart, humor, authenticity and spirit, Dakota Blonde has received top honors

Gadbaw and Krimmel

GADBAW and KRIMMEL - Beth Gadbaw and Margot Krimmel have performed together
throughout the U.S., the U.K, and Ireland.
Singer Beth Gadbaw grew up singing harmonies with her triplet sisters in a musical
household in Western Colorado. She came of age traveling from pub to folk club in
the West of Ireland and later the South of England, learning traditional songs,
and teaching herself to play bodhran along the way. Described by Sing Out as "lovely...with
a light, bouncy energy... her voice often acting as an instrument in its own right,"
Denver native Margot Krimmel honed her harp skills in the mountains of Colorado,
and made her way through Europe busking and performing with various harp ensembles.
Equally at home on lever and pedal harp, her compositions have been performed by
the World Harp Orchestra. Known for her innovative style, she is an award-winning
composer and performer.
