Dara Schindelka
A touch of the North and the Pull of the Prairies...Dara's voice has best been described as "The voice of an angel with the power of a freight train". She has travelled across Canada touring and sharing her songs and stories. Her latest project, She Imagined, is a collection of traditional folk songs that share the stories of women from hundreds of years ago that have ties to our present culture. Her genre bending styles include folk, classical, jazz and most recently techno electronic. When not working on her solo projects, Dara loves singing backup for other artists and is a member of the funk/groove band BackSeat Driver.
​
Most recently, Dara has been working on a new, full length, album of songs about the land she loves where the skies are bright, the rivers are clear, and the wind howls back to the coyotes on a prairie night.
