"Life in a Northern Town" by Dakota

 


I have no idea why this band is called Dakota.

They aren't from the Dakotas.  They hail from Cincinnati, Ohio.

There is a Dakota Avenue in Cincinnati.  Maybe they grew up there?

There are several used Dodge Dakota trucks for sale in Cincinnati.  That's kind of a stretch.... but, maybe?

Anyway, they perform a stripped-down version of Dream Academy's 1985 cult hit "Life in a Northern Town" using only an acoustic guitar, a bass, and some killer harmonies.
