Blue Dahlia albums A successful creative venture since 1995, Blue Dahlia continues to expand its musical horizons. A label for this group? World fusion! They tread easily through samba, tango, spoken-word, and waltz, trading blues for rock and rock for bluegrass. They mix hammered dulcimer and mandolin with lyrics in Czech, French, and Japanese.
