Austin A2W: Dana Falconberry
If you have yet to hear Dana Falconberry sing, please go out and do so immediately. She has arguably the best and most entrancing voice of any female singer currently residing in this town. Hell she has one of the best voices I’ve heard from a lady regardless of location in a long time. Having lived in this fine city for over 4 years now, it’s shocking that we have yet to come across this fine singer/songwriter until now. Well, in all truth, we heard Dana’s voice a few years ago when she collaborated with Peter & The Wolf mastermind Red Hunter on his lo-fi folk masterpiece Lightness, but we never knew she had a solo career. Now in 2010 Dana has released a debut EP, a follow up LP, and now prepares the release of another LP Halletts. A preview of this new material “Nightingale” can be listened to below. If you like what you hear, head on over to Mohawk on Thursday for a CD release party put on by Dana and her band to celebrate the release of her upcoming LP. Entrance only costs $7. Doooooo it.

On the homepage is a video of her making all of the packaging for her new CD by hand. Very cool… aspiring musicians take note.
