Dinah D plays upright bass, guitar, mandolin, banjo, a bit-o-fiddle and really belts it out! She also makes many sound effects and plays kazoo like a mad-woman.

Biography
It all started when Dinah D and Tina Jones were asked to fill a void in their community of Gabriola Island, BC, Canada: "We need music for our little tykes," they said. In fact, they wouldn''t stop demanding it! So, together with the local Recreation Society, they started Melody Makers Musical Preschool. The popularity of this program grew and soon parents of older kids started demanding more hands-on music education for kids of all ages.
This led them to put their heads together, along with several other talented artists from Gabriola to come up with a huge community collaborative extravaganza called "D''Ants in Yer Pants!". With the support from Canada Council''s Artists in Community Collaboration Fund, Dinah and Tina led the huge event, with workshopping taking place over several months and involving over 50 of Gabriola''s youth, from ages 5 to 17. The show that resulted was a huge success and left the kids with a sense of accomplishment, now having the skills to pull off a GIANT show, complete with Shadow Puppet Show, Live Band and Kid''s Choir. From performing on stage to learning stage management skills, the kids created it from conception to concert.
Still, the families on Gabriola and other communities wanted more. Demanded more! More quality entertainment for a family audience! More fun music to share with everyone, no matter what age!
ANNOUNCING THE KERPLUNKS!
They''ve already played some of Vancouver Island''s finest festivals (Vancouver Island MusicFest 2006 in Courtenay, Ukee Days 2006 in Ucluelet, Islands Music Festival, Duncan BC, Harmony Arts Festival West Van 2007) and continue to be invited to more. Along with a number of appearances in small communities as special guests at preschool celebrations, family dances and private parties, The Kerplunks are proud to announce the release of their debut CD, "The Kerplunks!".
When they''re not playing kid''s music, both Dinah and Tina enjoy careers playing with their own groups.
Dinah D''s swingband, the Contraband Swing Club, tours Vancouver Island and Lower Mainland music scene in support of her debut EP, "Outer Bass".
Fronting the Disco-Funk band Wunderbread for a decade, Tina now leads her own band, the Tina Jones Band. Her first album is still in the production stage.
"D''Ants in Yer Pants TOO!", taking place on Gabriola Island (Fall of 2007), is guaranteed to be a roaring success.
Some Kudos and Accolades:
"Tina and Dinah are both wonderful versatile additions to any festival program. As musicians, performers and most importantly fun human beings, I can''t recommend them enough!"
