On Friday, Mer and I headed over to Kent, to the Kent Stage, to see a concert by the Canadian duo Dala. We are both big fans of Dala – they have a great sound featuring tight harmonies, and they play guitars, ukelele, and piano during their concerts. They are funny and engaging performers, and they really do like each others as best friends, which adds to their on-stage energy and chemistry. They ad lib a lot of conversation between songs, and they seem just to be themselves. The sang for almost two hours, and then encouraged people to come see them in the lobby. Mer and I waited in line to say hi and to thank them, and they seemed very real. They are a great group, and I look forward to the next time they come to town.
