We're delighted to welcome world-renowned musician Dana Lyons for a wonderful late afternoon musical extravaganza! Dana is a singer, guitarist and recording artist who has toured the world for thirty years promoting environmental and social justice causes. Dana’s concerts are a blend of comedy, beautiful ballads, and fascinating stories of the road: from the myriad of global tours he has conducted. His beautiful singing voice and fun outrageous performances are great for the whole family.

We hope you can join us for this incredible opportunity to enjoy a truly memorable musical experience, surrounded by the forest and riverside beauty of TreeSong.

All proceeds will support the completion of our yurt classroom!

 

Dana has toured in 48 of the 50 American states, throughout Australia, and across Ireland, England, New Zealand, Canada, Kazahkstan, Patagonia and Siberia. Dana performs at festivals ranging from Farm Aid with Willie Nelson and Neil Young, to the Harley Davidson Festival in Sturgis, South Dakota. His policy of “I’ll play anywhere once” has landed Dana gigs on a tropical island in the Great Barrier Reef, an Irish Pub in Beijing and the Hanford Nuclear Waste Dump in his home state of Washington.


Best known for his global comedy hit “Cows With Guns” which went to #2 on Australia’s Country Charts and remained on Ireland’s Top 40 for six months, Dana has nine albums to date including his latest “The Great Salish Sea” and an album with world-renowned Jane Goodall “Circle the World” which features Goodall telling stories and Dana singing related songs.

Dana met Dr. Goodall when she wrote an endorsement for his award-winning book The Tree. Dana performs regularly at Dr. Goodall’s youth activist program, Roots and Shoots. The two created an album together, Circle the World, which features a beautiful mix of Jane Goodall telling stories of chimpanzees and working for peace and environmental justice and Dana’s inspiring ballads.
