Dana Falconberry is best known for her eloquent interpretations of nature and wildlife in her music. Her 2012 album Leelanau, written as an ode to her childhood vacations to the Michigan peninsula of the same name, is a perfect example. On this album, Falconberry’s lyrical portrayal of Great Lakes scenery is further expounded upon by the intricate string arrangements and vocal harmonies of her band.

Leelanau was heralded by critics for it’s gentle but complex orchestration and garnered Falconberry widespread recognition which grew steadily over 2013. Backed by her 5 piece band, Falconberry proceeded to travel all over the United States, touring as support for other acts (Heartless Bastards, Califone, Ivan & Alyosha) and blazing new paths into unexpected house shows and DIY spaces. The group was also invited to play sets at festivals including ACL Fest, SXSW, and Noise Pop Festival. The critical recognition only grew further as music writers encountered the well-crafted sound of their live show.
