An annual tradition at Swallow Hill, we’re pleased to welcome all Blonde Heads, old and new, to Dakota Blonde’s Valentine’s Day Celebration. The vibrant harmony trio of Mary Huckins, Don Pinnella and Tony Raddell return with their down-to-earth, sentimental, and humorous tunes that reflect their influences of folk, bluegrass, and country. Award winning songwriters, their song “Somebody’s Brother” won the 2001 Walnut Valley Festival New Song Showcase and Mary Huckin’s song “Dig Real Deep” was a finalist for the 2002 MerleFest Chris Austin Songwriting Contest.
They’ve shared the stage with myriad artists of great caliber, from Nickel Creek to John McEuen, and Jimmy Ibbotson to Tony Furtado, to name but a few. They were also showcased at our Denver Folk & Roots Music Festival (now known as RootsFest) in 2008, headlined by Bruce Cockburn and Nanci Griffith, where they brought the house down. Come celebrate love with a beloved favorite.
