New Music That Is Awesome: Heather Dale

At the Steampunk World's Fair, there were a fair number of musicians (also bulesque dancers, bellydancers, and performers of other sorts), and I spotted that Heather Dale was playing. I'd never heard her music, but she's had a banner ad running at Yet Another Fantasy Gamer Comic, and I thought it'd be worth checking her out.

She is totally awesome.

Celtic-inspired folk music with a heavy fantasy flavor. Imagine Loreena McKennitt if she was a sci-fi/fantasy/gaming geeky Canadian. The set she played included songs about Sedna, steampunk, fishermen, vengeful skeletons, Joan of Ark...and one about marriage. And that one made me a fan, everything else aside, because she gets it. Listen to "Choose". Do it now.

I may start watching her site for other local concerts and try to organize an outing. (And I bought two of her CDs, if you want to borrow them.)
