Melbourne based singer / songwriter, academic and author Dayle Allison Walker will be performing at Albert Park Yacht Club this Friday evening the 5th December 2014 along with her band FolkUs to celebrate Xmas with the launch of her latest album titled ‘Sanctuary’.

Throughout her early years as a singer, Dayle released an album with Mushroom Records, and toured  with artists such as Marcia Hines, Steve Groves (Tintin) and Johnny Chester.  As a studio session singer she worked with well-known artists, such as Tommy Emmanuel, Paul Rabowski and Mike Brady.  Dayle has performed in a wide variety of genres  and  settings,  in  country  music  and  acoustic  folk, with touring  bands, in  cabaret  and theatre, television variety shows, and for many years sang with Steve Ball (Kush) on piano at jazz piano bars in Sydney. Drawing on all of these influences, Dayle’s mellow voice brings a touching resonance to songs of depth, humour and warmth.

Her  new  album  ‘Sanctuary’,  produced  by  Hugh  McDonald from Red Gum  features  some  of  Australia’s  finest musicians and on the night Dayle will be accompanied by band members and guest artists including:

Brian Norris – bass / backup vocals
