History

Dakona formed in 1997 in Vancouver. The group was made up of lead vocalist and songwriter Ryan McAllister, Shane Dueck on bass and as co-songwriter, Brook Winstanley on guitar, and John Biondillo on drums.[1] The band began by performing locally in Vancouver, and independently released two albums.[2]

In 2003, the band signed with Maverick Records, recorded an album, Perfect Change, and toured in the US to promote it.[3][4] The album received mediocre reviews.[5][6]

Maverick later dissolved.[7] Dakona disbanded in 2005. Since then, Ryan McAllister has released two solo albums, Sketches and Music For a Rainy Town,[7] and has played with the band North Country Gentlemen (formerly known as Cowboys and Indians).
