DANA PERRY

"Madison-based evo-folk artist Dana Perry has been making music passionately for over 35 years, with over 15 years of focus on playing guitar and songwriting. A thumping guitar style, combined with poignant lyrics and powerhouse vocals; her music resonates with anyone who recognizes that we are all on our own Journey.

Dana is a 15-time winner at the Madison Area Music Association (MAMA) Awards; including several wins for Folk Performer of the Year and Acoustic Guitarist of the Year. Highly sought after for her moving live performances, she has been featured at many a songwriter showcase in the area since 2013. Whether playing with a group or just her guitar, on a festival stage or in the corner of a coffee shop; there's a passion for musical storytelling that can captivate a room. She shares songs of life's Journey - its trials and triumphs - with a deep self-inquiry, and an invitation for self-evolution.

She has self-released 7 albums; 3 of them she recorded herself under Folk U Productions, a DIY mobile studio she runs with her partner. When she's not on the road, Dana is heavily active in the Madison music scene. She teaches songwriting and guitar workshops, Guitar instructor/band coach/gear manager for Girls Rock Camp Madison, Music Coordinator at Cargo Coffee East, and Executive Director of the Madison Area Music Association."
