About the Band

Dale Boyle is a Montréal-based roots-rock singer-songwriter. He has been called “One of the best to emerge from north of the border” (AmericanaHomeplace.com) and “an accomplished musician, a fine singer, and an exceptionally thoughtful, meticulous songwriter" (CanadianBlues.ca).

Drawing upon influences including Steve Earle, John Fogerty and Tom Petty, Dale has developed a songwriting approach that is lyrically to the point and melodically driven. His duet with Juno award nominee Annabelle Chvostek (You Might Come Around) won 2^nd place in the Americana Category of the International Songwriting Competition. Dale is also a Lys Blues Songwriter of the Year award winner; Lys Blues Folk-Blues Artist of the Year award winner (two years); Narrative Songwriting Competition winner; and USA Songwriting Competition, Unsigned Only Music Competition, and Canadian Songwriting competition finalist.

Dale’s new release, Gasoline, is a roots-rock EP recorded with the “LA Rhythm Section”: Drummer Kenny Aronoff (John Mellencamp, John Fogerty, etc.) and bassist James LoMenzo (John Fogerty, David Lee Roth, etc.). The EP includes a cover of Neil Young’s Heart of Gold, as well as four original tracks: Gasoline, All Gone Now, Hard Luck Town, and My Birmingham. Recently, My Birmingham placed in the finals of the 2017 Canadian Songwriting Competition.
