Dakona was an alternative rock band originating from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

History

Established in 1997, the lineup of Dakona included lead singer and primary songwriter Ryan McAllister, bassist and co-writer Shane Dueck, guitarist Brook Winstanley, and drummer John Biondillo. The group performed within the local scene and independently produced two albums.

In 2003, the band secured a contract with Maverick Records, recorded the album Perfect Change, and embarked on a tour across the United States to support its release. The album garnered a range of critical responses. After Maverick Records ceased operations, Dakona dissolved in 2005. Subsequently, Ryan McAllister pursued a solo career, releasing two albums titled Sketches and Music For a Rainy Town, and collaborated with North Country Gentlemen (formerly known as Cowboys & Indians).
