Dana Wylie is a Canadian Blues Music Award nominee, a Canadian Folk Music Award nominee, and – with her roots/soul supergroup Secondhand Dreamcar – a JUNO nominee. She is a singer of rare gift and a crafter of deeply felt and sharply observed songs, praised by Penguin Eggs magazine as the only artist about whom they have “felt comfortable comparing favourably to Joni Mitchell in the scope of her talent EVER.” Dana’s 2017 record The Earth That You’re Made Of earned her a CFMA nomination for Contemporary Singer of the Year, and was described by journalist and programmer Peter North as “one of the finest contemporary roots recordings to have ever been produced in Alberta, period.” She debuted her critically-acclaimed theatrical song-cycle Makings of a Voice in 2021, released her sixth solo album How Much Muscle in early 2023, as well an album of original country duets with Sammy Volkov in 2024. Her band Secondhand Dreamcar’s debut album Answer the Call received a 2025 JUNO nomination for Blues Album of the Year and three Canadian Blues Music Awards nominations, including Female Vocalist of the Year for Dana, and their new album Get Ready will be released in Fall 2026.
