let's bloom

Steeped in vintage sensibilities and powerful emotion, paired with her dreamy, delicate vocals, Avery Dakin fuses old and new in her dynamic, thoughtfully crafted music. 

Avery's soft-hearted, soulful accounts of life’s most intimate moments are youthful and refreshing, sometimes playful and cheeky, while still reflecting her old soul. Cushioned within lush, shimmering harmonies and longing melodies, bathing in a soft sweetness, her sultry yet earnest music implores you to sway along to the sounds of vulnerable introspection and a woman in bloom.

A single review in UK publication Click Roll Boom calls Avery’s vocals “enchanting with an intoxicating purity and innocence”. 

This sensitivity and care has earned Avery nominations for "Best R&B Artist" and "Best Songwriter" in The Coast's 2023 Best Of Halifax Awards, features in international publications praising her music, and the opening slot for Caribou Run at the Lighthouse Arts Centre for Halifax Jazz Fest 2021.

Now you can stream Avery's brand new debut album, Bloom: a soothing, sultry, and vulnerable meditation on growth and coming of age.

Touching on themes of mental wellness, growing up, and freeing oneself from the past in search of a happier and healthier life, Bloom uplifts the spirit with Avery's sweet, pure vocals, dreamy harmonic variation, and a sun-kissed, tender warmth in its tone and delivery. 

Avery has also just released a brand new single and video- a cover of Aretha Franklin's "Day Dreaming", recorded live off the floor to tape at Fang Recording in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Avery and her band capture its dreamy warmth, expressing jubilant appreciation and reverence for this beautiful and timeless music in a tribute to one of the greatest artists of all time.

Between performing with her 7-piece band across Nova Scotia and writing brand new music for her next project, Avery works as a composer, arranger, and private music teacher.
