Veteran guitarist and vocalist Dale Dahlquist leads an experienced and professional group of musicians who masterfully capture the spirit of great artists who inspire them.

This band can cater to all your music needs, from romantic ceremony music to toe-tapping tunes that will keep your guests on the dance floor all night long. The Riff Rangers offer their services in a variety of formats. They start with a full-sounding quintet - a dynamic 3-part vocal section (Dale Dahlquist, Rhiannon Fiskradatz, Kristen Olsen Rodriquez), and a second-to-none rhythm section (bassist Dik “His Lowness” Hedlund, percussionist Will Kemperman). They can add a top-tier Twin Cities violinist and/or a keyboard for even more range and flavors (sextet or septet).
For your wedding ceremony or cocktail hour, the Argyle Street Trio, vocal core of the Riff Rangers, is a perfect choice. A more intimate alternative is a subset male-female duo (Dale & Rhiannon or Dale & Kristen). A third option is Dale and Kathleen Conger, with a unique repertoire of vocal duets and beautiful instrumentals on guitar, bass and ukulele. You can listen to all of these options on their easy-to-navigate website: www.theriffrangers.com
The Riff Rangers and the Argyle Street Trio also make for classy entertainment at corporate events such as banquets, award dinners, company picnics and holiday shows. Their all-ages appeal and ability to play at listenable levels that allow for conversation make them an ideal band for focused entertainment, ambient music, or a combination of each during an event.
A concert-level group that will blow you away with their artful arrangements and rich vocal harmony, their motto is: EXPECT COOL RIFFS! Please reach out to them today to learn more about their services!
