Candy Dulfer were happy to get the record deal, but were not sure how far they would go. The release of their debut recording convinced them that they were right where they should be after their songs began to get lots of radio play. The band is constantly touring now, rarely taking a week or night off. Candy Dulfer met with a local DJ from Q89.5 and convinced him to play their single on air. The single immediately became a local hit and larger radio stations started playing the song. Eventually a record executive heard it and signed the group. The group's members all had odd jobs while they waited for their time to come.
Candy Dulfer's most current release has taken the band in a surprisingly new direction, with a more complex musical structure. The band is in the first leg of the accompanying tour for their most current release. Members of Candy Dulfer hope to team up with other artists during the tour.
The band has always had a good time in Charleston so they make sure to play there every year, even if they are not promoting anything. Ticket Specialists is the one stop shop for the group, with Candy Dulfer tickets, concert seating charts, and touring schedule.
