Kalyna Rakel and Dan Gurman
They have recorded a lot from home this past year during covid, and are excited to share these songs live with you for the first time.
“The dozen originals on Before & After You announce a new roots-rock voice has arrived. Whether she is tearing up the highway on Yellow-Blue or crooning like a mix of Amy Winehouse and Rickie Lee Jones on My First Love Song, Rakel sounds completely in control of her voice and message.” - VANCOUVER SUN
“Her velvet voice and soulful melodies are as pleasing as it gets, and her lyrics are both intimate and inspirational.” - KEEP WALKING MUSIC, MADRID
“She sings in a way that feels so raw and natural and that is entirely unique to her. With every note she sings, the listener gets a feeling of unbridled authenticity.... real without ever alienating listeners; something I haven’t felt since Lily Allen.” - STEREO STICKMAN
“Kalyna Rakel sent out soul shivers into the hearts of her intent listeners” - FOLK MUSIC ONTARIO (WEBSITE 2019)
