About
Live Life in Song
Dackel started in 2008 when Phil and Walter met and started performing together. "Dackel" is a cute word for dachshund. The symbol and name was chosen for our song "Year of the Dog". We've played a variety of festivals in the NC Triangle area (Festival of Legends, Festival for the Eno, Carrboro, Centerfest, Sutherland Estates Art Show, Come Out and Play Sculpture show, etc. Dackel has performed at Senior Living Centers, Blue Note Grill, Sacred Grounds, Beer Durham, West Park Tavern, Tobacco Wood Brewery and the Durham Arts Center. We are available to play music for a variety of events including fund raisers.
Recently, Dackel has been performing as a solo act by its main songwriter, Walter Miller. Walter is also now the President of the North Carolina Songwriters Co-op. Walter is currently recording a new CD, expected to be released in June 2025.
