Carried on the breath of three unique and soul lifting voices, The Dales three-part harmony sets the foundation of their Americana roots-rock sound. For more than fifteen years a collective of friends had lent their voices, instrumentation, passion and support to each other’s musical projects.

Life, being as unpredictable as the direction the winds blows, carried a deep and contemplative life moment into the lives of these friends. It was inherent that a musical family was begging to be born.

Drew Lawrence (Keys and Vocals) is a multi-platinum songwriter who has written for and with many of the top artists in the music industry. Drew co-wrote “Jar of Hearts” with Christina Perri (#17 on the Billboard Hot 100) and recently co-wrote “Wiser” for independent artist Madelyn Bailey which has over 5 million views on YouTube.

In November of 2016 Drew, Preston Pope (Guitar and Vocals), Kyle Vanes (Bass), Carrie Turner (Vocals) and Blake Paulson (Drums) traveled up to Bear Creek Studio in Woodinville, Washington to record their forthcoming debut album “Marie”. The band sought out Grammy nominated producer/engineer Jerry Streeter (The Lumineers, Brandi Carlile) to record and produce the music they had written for this life inspired record.

On January 1, 2017 The Dales kicked off the year supporting The White Buffalo to a sold out crowd at the historic Belly Up in Solana Beach, California. Look for The Dales debut album “Marie” as well as on tour this summer in a city near you.
