Darlene

Artist Bio

Darlene has lived the life of a troubadour since 1990. Seeking from the source has given Darlene a different sense of folk roots, seasoned with styles ranging from Blues, Jazz, Gipsy, First-Nations, Mexican and roots of American Folk music. Call it Gipsy Folk.

*"Widely multitalented, Darlene is adept at every known stage skill except, perhaps, ventriloquism. She is apt to play one tune on a child's toy accordion and, on the next, accompany herself with a didgeridoo.

A seasoned performer with many miles traveled along her minstrel road, along the way Darlene has expanded her vocal range and skills to encompass just about any kind of keening or chanting or ululation one may be aware of, from operatic soprano to mariachi to Finnish yoiking to throat singing to yodeling or even barking like a dog.

Her keen guitar style keeps pace with her singing, providing skilled accompaniment in numerous musical styles and rhythms.

Darlene's songwriting is crisp, whimsical and adventurous in its scope and breadth, leading the listener on an exciting musical adventure."
