Dakota Blonde is Mary Huckins, Don Pinnella & Tony Raddell and wow, have they played and sung their way into countless hearts & souls around the globe! “Highly addictive & absolutely contagious” is how their loyal & captivated audiences describe them! They met through their careers in Music Therapy, working with children and adolescents who are emotionally troubled. Therapy… yes… these three have a special knack for including audiences in their music and finding the heart strings that music plays in all of us. This special capacity for empathy could explain the titanium bond the band quickly forms with their audiences.

Big change!!! Please park along Columbine Lane on the left side (east side) as you drive in and leave the right side open for emergency vehicles. Leave the cul de sac open for neighbors, emergency vehicles and turn around. Park as tightly as you can, but don't block any driveways. You can also park up in the circular driveway across the street (228), the new home of Patty and Jay, as the house is unoccupied right now. If parking in our driveway, proceed all the way around and park on the outside edge of the north side. Please leave the left side open for emergency vehicles.
