Sienna Dahlen

Born: July 6, 1972

JUNO award-winning jazz vocalist, Sienna Dahlen was born in the pristine Kootenay region of southern British Columbia and raised in the northern gusty dusty Peace River region of the same province.

Always paving her own path, Sienna is hard to pin down. Her music and sound scale the outskirts of folk, jazz and the spatial avant-garde and the effect is a showering of sonic love. Sienna's latest release, a duo album entitled "Balladextrous", was recorded with Bill Coon on guitar and released on Cellar Music Records in June of 2023.
