Description:
Dale Ann was born and raised in the small Eastern Kentucky town of Pineville, where she first sang in a Primitive Baptist church and at school contests. Her daddy was a preacher and coal miner. Described by Music Row magazine as a "gentle mountain songbird with a shimmering delivery," Dale Ann has been making a name for herself within bluegrass circles and beyond since 1992, but she has been singing forever. In 1997 Dale Ann and Vicki Simmons formed a new band, Dale Ann Bradley and Coon Creek, and released "East Kentucky Morning," which was enthusiastically received by critics and fans alike. One of their most important contributions as a group has been the strength and originality of Vicki Simmons and Dale Ann as a songwriting team. Together, the two women have written many powerful songs that often tell the stories of the struggles of women. Dale Ann has finally joined the ranks of her heroes. Dale Ann won the 2007 IBMA Female Vocalist of the year. |
