A driving confluence of eclectic sounds that carry a message of peace and love through their distinctive style of rock = DARA.

Add to this their rich vocal harmonies and they become a force that reaches beyond the music almost physically into the world. Together Dara explores the inner and outer most edges of what it is to exist in this universe.
Dara has been working on their first studio album together, and over the past year have really honed in on a sound they can really call their own. A natural evolution of Benjamin Dara’s debut album “Single Flame” the music pulls from a vast medley of influences from around the world. Dara’s new album expands upon the singer songwriter feel into a more psychedelic vision of rock and roll, while remaining true to Ben’s storytelling spirit.
Ben’s award winning songwriting has found new dimensions to explore thanks to the sounds of his band members. Though they are still in the nest that is the studio, Dara is excited to tour once their album is released and promises big things for their fans, and the world.
