2006 " The Dalziels will caress your mind and your heart with their songs of people and places that exist in all of our minds. You will feel as though you too have seen Topanga Canyon, been a Sea Faring Man leaving a family behind and the yearning of that young crush while you are Waiting for the Revolution. They are without a doubt one of the most talented songwriting teams and musicians that have ever graced our stage." - Kim, Monson, Two Harbors Folk Festival, Two Harbors, MN
