"Father/daughter Richard and Dakota Dry aren’t even IDC Artists, but we liked their new EP so much it had to be shared. “Snowflake Circus” provides an uplifting message set over melodies that stick with you in all the best ways. Music is meant to inspire emotions, and that goal is definitely accomplished here."
--Independent Distribution Collective Review

"I owned 'Living End' in Detroit in the '60s & was the first to present 17-yr.old Joni Mitchell...and haven't seen anyone like her SINCE...until DAKOTA! She is Terrific!!!"

--Ned Treanor
