History

The four members of Dakota Moon met during a recording session in Los Angeles, and decided to form a full-time band because the session went well.[1] After touring the L. A. club circuit, the band was signed with Elektra Records in 1997 by Elektra's CEO Sylvia Rhone, and was hired to open for Hall and Oates and Tina Turner later that same year.[1] Dakota Moon released two albums for Elektra, in 1998 and 2002, and charted three hits in the US.
