About Us  

Energetic country meets edgy rock when the Dirt Road Angels hit the stage. Their newest single  "Pour Us" highlights the contagious joy and passion these girls put into their music.  Its never a dull moment  with this HIGH ENERGY   power Group!

     

 

     The Dirt Road Angels are a rockin’ country female group who deliver deliciously layered harmonies and an undeniably hefty dose of charisma along with a high energy stage performance. Individual recording artists Danita Lynn, Dahlia Wakefield, Shila Marie and Karen Claypool came together in the fall of 2013 releasing an introductory compilation CD branding themselves the Dirt Road Angels. Since their inception, the group has gone on to record two more albums "Paint the Town Red" (2014) and "Extra Dirty" (2018) and have since then released many singles and videos.

 

This year, 2023- they are celebrating their 10th year together  as a band!

Their current single release is written by Drew Shalka,  Danita Lynn, Karen Claypool and Mitchell Smith called "Pour Us".  The song is about a girl who feels blessed to have a great guy in the life who is patient, understanding and actually encourages her to have a girl's night out with friends after a hard day.   Produced by Drew Shalka along with Rob Hewes, their trusted producer since the beginning of the group’s projects, meticulously weaves and blends their vocals into a musical tapestry enticing listeners to want to hear more of their lush, intricate harmonies laced into heartwarming melodies and relatable lyrics. 

In April 2021 they released their successful single "Dance in the Rain" written by Bart Butler, Larry McCoy and Krista Marie. It gained a lot of traction at satellite radio and all streaming platforms! Its light-hearted message is that of hope and positivity to follow your dreams even when life hands you lemons. 

Two songs on their second album "Paint the Town Red” were finalists in the 2014 International Acoustic Music Awards and the 2014 Calgary Folk Music Song writing contest. Their third album "Extra Dirty" features remakes of two well-known classic cover songs: Johnny Cash’s "Folsom Prison Blues" and the Eagles’ classic "Seven Bridges Road”, both fan favourites. The title track “Extra Dirty” as well as “Call It Home” have both gone #1 on the European Country Music Charts. 

The seven-time ACMA Group of the Year Nominees have released 13 singles so far to Canadian Country Radio from their three albums collectively. The Dirt Road Angels have showcased at CCMA events, AAAS Conventions and performed for many other high profile events including Taste of Edmonton, Porkapalooza, Blueberry Bluegrass Music Festival, Beaumont Blues & Roots Festival, Festival Place Patio Series and the Roots and Boots Concert tour opening for U.S. acts Colin Raye, Sammy Kershaw and Aaron Tippin. They’ve also opened for American act Blackjack Billy and top Canadian country acts such as Kira Isabella, Brett Kissell, High Valley, Doc Walker, Road Hammers and Aaron Pritchett and many more. 

These hard working, dedicated, self-managed ladies are proud of their accomplishments thus far and are especially grateful for their loyal fans. They are writing brand new music to be released in 2023 and strive to keep up the momentum of their musical journey. The Dirt Road Angels continue to fly and plan to soar to even newer heights together as they follow their dreams!
