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 hired to open for Tina Turner in 1997, and they were signed with Elektra Records that same year.[1] Dakota Moon released two albums for Elektra, in 1998 and 2002, and charted three hits in the US.
