  • Bio

    Dara Weiss is a Montreal-born singer and songwriter. She is a dedicated and active member of Montreal's bluegrass/country scene. Early on in life, Dara's father imbued in her a love of folk music. He taught her some chords, which she diligently practiced on his cherry Guild guitar. Her father’s guitar, made the year she was born, is the same one she plays today. Dara had stints in rock bands during her college years. She also obtained a performance degree in classical saxophone at McGill University. It was bluegrass music, however, that truly grabbed hold of her heart. As she began to involve herself in the bluegrass community in Montreal she drenched herself in the music of the Stanley Brothers and Bill Monroe. She fell deeply in love with the exquisite music of Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, the voice of Tim O'Brien, the haunting blend of the clawhammer banjo and the old time fiddle. She lay her saxophone down and committed herself to the cherry Guild and mountain music. In 2005, while Dara was living in Thunder Bay Ontario, she collaborated with Cape Breton-born flatpicker Ernie Redquest. The Woodshed Sessions was recorded by Redquest and includes seven of Dara's songs. Dara's main musical project is her bluegrass group Yonder Hill (www.myspace.com/yonderhill), featuring Katie Moore and Angela Desveaux who, along with Dara, sing and write songs for the band. The band also includes some of Montreal's finest bluegrass instrumentalists: Andrew Horton on upright bass and vocals, Heather Schnarr on fiddle, Joe Grass on dobro and Terry-Joe Rodrigues on the clawhammer banjo. They perform both original compositions and traditional bluegrass songs and fiddle tunes. Dara is recording a new album with her old time trio The Bogghoppers. Dara plays guitar and sings in the band and is joined by Glenn Patterson on fiddle and Tyler Rudolph on banjo and vocals. The Bogghoppers play shows and square dances in the Montréal area. On Sunday nights at 7pm tune in to CKUT 90.3 fm in Montreal to hear Dara's radio show Bluegrass Ramblings. She can also, on occasion, be heard hosting The Country Classics show on the same station at 8pm. Listen online at www.ckut.ca Dara can often be found singing at various weekly open-mic/jam nights throughout Montreal, including Barfly's Sunday Night Bluegrass Jam (4062a Boul. St. Laurent); Monday nights at the legendary Wheel Club (3373 Boul. Cavendish in NDG); and Thursday nights at Moonshiner Thursdays at Grumpy's Pub (1242 rue Bishop). Dara also is the co-founder of Montréal's only Sacred Harp singing group. ......lyt by avlays......
