Bio
Inhabiting the far north before going nomad and now perched in Toronto, Ontario, Dana Sipos’ hypnotic, nuanced songs shine a tenderly skewed light into the shadows. She has been touring extensively in support of her previous release, Roll Up the Night Sky, occasionally by bicycle, canoe, tall ship and train, and received a Canadian Folk Music award nomination in the Pushing the Boundaries category. A new album, Trick of the Light, produced by Sandro Perri and featuring a breadth of Canadian talent will be released on Toronto-based Roaring Girl Records May 18, 2018. ”delicate, slightly strange and completely mesmerizing (Gold Flake Paint UK)”
