From the press release:
“Madison Music Mainstay Dana Perry Announces 8th Album Release, ‘The Spark’
MADISON, WI – March 20th, 2026 – Award-winning “evo-folk” artist and community leader Dana Perry is set to release her highly anticipated 8th recording project, an EP titled The Spark, on March 20th. Known for her “thumping guitar style and powerhouse vocals,” Perry continues her decades-long tradition of blending raw storytelling with a fierce, independent spirit.
Following the success of her previous award-winning albums, including Tunes on the Battlefield and
Now & Again, The Spark represents a new threshold in Perry’s “internal Journey” – a central theme in
her music that explores personal evolution and navigating the inner workings of the mind and spirit.
Recorded at Warm Glow Studios, the EP captures the grit and melody that have made her a stand-out sound in the Midwest music circuit. ‘This album centers around themes of intense transformation, both internally and externally,’ says Perry. ‘There’s an invitation to surrender to the chaotic-yet-beautiful flow of it all – to trust and stand in our own power through these profound changes.’ Beyond the stage, Perry remains one of the most active figures in the Madison Music ecosystem. Her influence extends far beyond her discography…”
