“This year marks the 19th year Dolly Varden has been together and the Chicago-based quintet recently released its sixth studio album, “For A While.” This album is garnering rave reviews for good reason: this might be their finest effort yet. One listen to new songs such as the autobiographical, Dawson-penned “Saskatchewan to Chicago,” and you will be convinced you are hearing what will prove to be one of the best albums of 2013. Take songwriting informed by the pop sensibilities of the Beatles, soul, classic country, and the Laurel Canyon songwriting sound of the ’70s, then add the gorgeous vocal harmony blend of Steve Dawson and Diane Christiansen, and that gives you some idea of what to expect…”  – John Wendland / KDHX-FM
