Dana launches her long awaited first EP live at the MAC this spring. Tickets on Sale Now!<\/strong><\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/a>Originally from the Deep South in the United States, Dana grew up with sound of soul, rhythm and blues and gospel music all around her. Her love for music developed as she grew up and lead her to study music, majoring in vocal performance at university. Music took Dana from South Carolina to Minneapolis and then onto Los Angeles where she lived for four years and where she met an Irish boy who would later become her husband. In 2008 Dana and her husband moved to Northern Ireland.<\/p>\n

Although she sang sporadically, music generally took a back seat while Dana settled into life in a new country and culture. That all changed in early 2012 when Dana had a chance meeting with Linley Hamilton at a local music venue. \u00a0During that year Dana, Linley and some of the best Jazz musicians playing in Ireland began a weekly residency in the basement of McHugh\u2019s bar in Belfast, the inspiration for Dana\u2019s first EP.<\/p>\n

From live work with BBC Radio 4 and Proms in the Park to singing regularly with Van Morrison, Dana\u2019s reputation as one of Ireland\u2019s top vocalists continues to gain momentum.<\/p>\n

Calling Northern Ireland home, Dana is passionate about music as a vehicle to make people and communities vibrant.\u00a0Dana and her husband Andrew live in Lisburn with their three children.<\/p>\n
