Dala

Last Friday, I headed up to Scripps for their once-a-semester free concert on their big lawn.  This is part of a series of concerts organized by a Scripps Alum, Elizabeth Levitt Hersch '74.  Part giving back to Scipps, part advertisement for the Levitt Pavillions, this is always a well-organized nice event.  Performing this time were Dala, an acoustic folk duo from Canada.  

They were awesome!  I have to admit, my consumption of folk has dropped dramatically since leaving North Carolina, so it was nice to get a booster.  Lovely harmonies and an easy back-and-forth between two friends made for a wonderful concert.  The concert setting itself was also very nice--by setting the time from 5:30-7:00, there was a pretty transition from day to night while they played.  And they even gave chairs and/or blankets to everyone.  A great way to start the weekend!
