DAKKOTA

About Me

DAKKOTA is a North Carolina-based country music band. The group was formed by a remarkable combination of fate and pure coincidence. The band was born in early January of 1994. Dakkota has experienced lows which should justify a "VH1 documetary" and highs which could have awarded them "CMA Entertainers of The Year". Through it all, the group continues to share the lust for America's greatest music format, country music.Dakkota combines the melodies of country with the drive of Southern rock to produce their own distinct sound. Their highly energetic, interactive stage show and newly released album has allowed them to perform with the biggest names in Country Music such as:Charlie Daniels, Tracey Lawrence, Bryan White, George Jones, Kenny Chesney, Brooks and Dunn, Tim McGraw, Alan Jackson, Jerry Lee Lewis, Travis Tritt, Sammy Kershaw, Dixie Chicks and too many more to mention...Dakkota has built a reputation as one of the hardest working bands in the SE United States. Touring extensively since 1994, they've entertained crowds from New York to Florida and from Delaware to Kansas City, MO. Their perseverance has awarded them "Country Music Entertainers of the Year" for five consecutive years by the National Association of Campus Activities (NACA). In 1999 and in 2000 they won the Nat'l award for "Best Band" for the "Assocation for the Promotion of Campus Activities (APCA)". Their original material has made them a feature act at many country music clubs, venues and festivals including: Coyote Joe's/ Charlotte, NC, Charlotte (NC) Motor Speedway (NASCAR), Bristol (TN) Motor Speedway (NASCAR), Homestead (FL) Motor Speedway (NASCAR), Memphis (TN) Motor Speedway (NASCAR), Richmond (VA) Motor Speedway (NASCAR), Nashville (TN) Motor Speedway (NASCAR), Gumboro (DE) FIRE HALL (Ha! Ha!..We Love you Guys), Longbranch/Raleigh, NC, Walnut Creek Amphitheater/Raleigh, NC, NC Seafood Festival, Lexington BBQ Festival..etc...Success has led Dakkota to several interviews on radio and television stations such as: The Fox Network, WSOC FM 103.7, Charlotte, ABC Channel 2, WHSL FM 100.3, Greensboro, "Let's Go Fishin' (w/ Denny Little)/ The Outdoor Channel, WSOC FM / Charlotte, NC
