Dakota Blonde

I looked up "South Dakota" on Spotify and just let it play. Now I'm here. Have a nice day.

We loved the concert at Miner's Alley. We brought friends new to DB. They so much enjoyed the evening. It's such a fun relaxing time. Love you all!! Dompet Kulit

Hey Mary, Here is a space in time you may or may not remember though I sincerely hope you do. Long, long ago in a place so very near I worked for the phone company out of Evergreen very near the turnaround on hwy 73 there at Turkey Creek Canyon. Well this was back in the Chris Shtongel days before he was married and you were helping a good friend of yours out selling coffee out of her bumper pull trailer. I don't remember how I heard that you were so close and actually there though I drove up in my phone repairman truck and met you there as you sold me coffee. Soon afterward I hauled downhill to the local Little Bear and listened to the three of you touring "Something Simple". Well for me it was such an amazing record I've been a fan since. As a matter of fact today in the mail I just received two more of your records though in a smaller size. I listen a lot though I don't get out often anymore though after my upcoming medical procedure/procedures and rehab I'll pick up my own six and twelve stringed things again. It's difficult to play when both of your shoulders need replaced......yikes!! I'll get though it fine and I hope to see the band again in the future. Oh....by the way my first take was that you were trying to sound like all the other "Shanaynay's" running around not doing much. When I listened more closely I realized you are the most blessed female vocalist and talent I've ever heard in my life. Alison Krauss is pretty good too...Please give yourself a hug for me and I sincerely hope to see you sometime towards the middle of 2018.....hopefully someplace local. Oh and the first time I did see you and your fantastic band everyone was very gracious and welcoming...a little later I had to go upstairs and hide because your angelic voice brought me to tears.

Hi guys, not really sure who gets these. Your show last night at Nissi's was really awesome. The addition of Kristi for the entire show was great ! I especially enjoyed "The Wind Jig". I was expecting to be mesmerized with Ernie's mandolin playing, but when I heard Kristi playing the Harp, WOW!! That was so much fun to watch and hear the two of them playing together.
My daughter, Shawna, is looking forward to seeing and hearing y'all again soon. She also had a wonderful time hearing you and meeting you. Good job, made the night a wonderful time.

I so enjoyed your two concerts at the YMCA of the Rockies this summer, and I want you to know how very much your beautiful music has come to mean to me. Year after year your band manages to transmit a goodness and decency and a sense of basic happiness that we all need so desperately. It has lifted me up and given me back my positive perspective that sometimes life has drained away. So precious and so inspiring!
This is why I know the words to your songs and why I am already looking forward to your concerts next summer. You make a positive difference in my world!

We have been to several of your shows this summer! So happy that we have found Dakota Blonde! You have been missing from our lives! We just LOVE YOU and LOVE YOUR MUSIC! Keep on doing all the good you are doing in this world!

So glad that Dakota Blonde is playing at StageDoor Theatre in Conifer on August 5th. We can't wait to watch and hear you do your magic.

Have a couple of your CD's that son gave me. Really enjoy them. Have tried to get local theater to check into booking you in Marietta, OH. Would love to see live performance.

Sad we won't get to see you at Tri-Lakes. Looking forward, however to your concert with us in June!!

Super happy you will be playing at A Night in the Park on July 15th! We are excited to be celebrating 25 years of land and water conservation!
