— from Caralee Dey —

IMG_3565_2Dagmar is coming to Orcas Island on Thursday August 11 at 8 p.m. with a concert at the Victorian Valley Chapel. Dagmar is an indie classical, harmony-driven female duo recently relocated to the San Francisco Bay Area from their prairie homeland of Iowa.

A new music project with history, Gemma Cohen (vocals, bass) and Miranda Mallard (vocals, keyboard, guitar) are Dagmar’s core. They have attained sister status after having sung together for over 8 years in the trio Rock Paper Scissors, and now in Dagmar since 2014.

Gemma and Miranda create original music while rocking their curly manes and singing from the depths of their souls. Harmonies continue to be a staple for this duo along with influences ranging from Phillip Glass to the Fleet Foxes. Dagmar’s sound is raw, challenging, a vulnerable vocal driven exposition of Medieval harmonies and uncrumpled diaries.
