Kid Dakota - A Winner's Shadow

Kid Dakota is a two-piece band from Minneapolis consisting of Darren Jackson on vocals and guitars, and Ian Prince on drums. The drums position was previously held by Christopher Mcguire, who now plays for Puppies. Before the formation of Kid Dakota, Jackson appeared as solo during the mid 90s.

The band have released three albums, including the latest one A Winner's Shadow which was released on March 11.

"Inspired by the raw beauty of songwriter Darren Jackson's native Black Hills, Kid Dakota has always managed to musically conjure a sacred space where beauty and tragedy overlap. With their 2008 release, A Winner's Shadow, Jackson and drummer Ian Prince leave behind that dusty, windswept panorama and trade it for an urban landscape that crackles and pulses with electric life. Against this backdrop, we experience the awe and terror of the songs' narrators as they navigate loneliness, loss and love." - to find out more, please visit Fanatic.
