Danas song-writing draws on many styles, both traditional and modern, and her lyrical skill is matched by a voiced described as “one of the finest instruments you will hear for her generation.” She composes on piano and guitar, and is accompanied by Nye Parsons on double-bass and Jeremy Hellard on drums, harmonicas, guitar and vocals. The band have released two critically acclaimed albums, “Almost There...” (2006) and “The Unruly Ones” (2008). Dana first came to Taiwan in 2003 when she left a career in music-theatre to concentrate on writing her own music. While she was here, she was the organizer and director for Taipeis first V-Day, which raises millions of $NT for womens charities every year. The Dana Wylie Band show no signs of slowing down in 2009, having booked another Transatlantic tour for the Spring and Summer, and are currently working on demos for their third album. 【David Chen泥灘地浪人】/ Muddy Basin Ramblers (泥灘地浪人) 成員都是相交多年的老友。大約在二二那一年，幾個amblers開始一塊兒玩起了音樂。因為大家都住在台北，於是便暱稱這座城市為「The Muddy Basin」，也就是「泥土盆地」的意思。受到一九年代早期的樂團和樂手的啟發，像是Memphis Jug Band、Robert Johnson、Gus Cannons Jug Stompers，以及二十世紀早期在舞廳演出的很多樂團和樂手，Muddy Basin Ramblers演奏有人稱為jug band音樂jug band就是用jug〔玻璃或陶器做的窄口瓶或壺〕、洗衣板之類隨手可得的物品拿來當樂器使用的樂團，接近中文常說的克難樂團。時日一久，jug band的樂曲已自成一格，所以有jug band音樂、、，或是很多其他名稱的曲子。我們這個團之所以熱愛玩音樂，純粹是因為音樂實在太好玩了！如果你見過我們在台北地區的公園裡或是河岸邊彈彈唱唱，也會明白音樂真的很好玩！這群ramblers又笑又唱、手舞足蹈，非常自得其樂，甚至連他們玩的樂器也都很有意思！ 我們幾個ramblers玩的一些「樂器」其實是你在家裡就找得到的東西，像是當作打擊
