Opal Canyon

Opal Canyon is one of those rare bands that have the ability to transport their listeners to a place where serenity and serendipity exist in tandem, and emotion is expressed openly and abundantly. They evoke gilded landscapes, bringing to mind the aura and expression of Laurel Canyon, Monterey and other evocative environs known for inspiring soothing sentiments shared with both passion and purpose. They’re sophisticated soundscapes that offer a respite from the perils of the modern world, finding hope in distant horizons, with sounds and notions that veer from longing and regret to satisfaction and celebration, while allowing optimism to illuminate the path forward.

Only artists that aim for that authenticity can express those sentiments in ways that allow others to feel safe and secure in their embrace. Happily then, with their sophomore album, Tomorrow to the Sea, Opal Canyon — helmed by the husband and wife team of singer and songwriter Debra DeMuth and singer, guitarist and songwriter Dave Houghton — plough the depths of dreams and desires, and in so doing, create a connection that can be shared through its own radiance and resolve.
