Dakota 66 praises the importance of moments in which we can find a home in a friend, and allow them to lead us back to our true selves. The band opens up about the need for a comforting space, a safe haven amongst the hardships of everyday life – a place for us to be ourselves, surrounded by the things and people we love. “Wrap me up in a bubble with all my books/wrap me up with my music and all my luck/cause I got you and you get me,” the lyrics express, encapsulating the feelings of love, safety, and contentment.

The band is composed of J Gallagher on vocals, Brian Grace on guitar, Brian Curran on bass, and Thomas Leonard on drums. After ten years of playing together, Dakota 66 is ready to share their reflections on life, people, hope, loss, and emotions with their upcoming debut album, If Not Now, When, due to release later this year.
