Desert Dolphins was a Canadian country music group. Their 1994 single "Dynamite" reached the Top 10 of the RPM Country Tracks chart.[1] They later returned to the Top 20 with their 1996 single "Foolproof."[2]

The band was founded in 1993 in Kitchener, Ontario.[3] Its original lineup was Grant Heywood (lead vocals, mandolin), Peter Padalino (guitar, keyboards, vocals), Rocky Howell (guitar, vocals), and Jamie Todd (various instruments). Padalino was a former member of Major Hoople's Boarding House.[4] By mid-1995, the lineup had changed to Heywood, Peter Beacock (keyboards), Sean Gilders (bass guitar), and Daniel Davies (guitars). Randall Prescott of the band Prescott-Brown produced their album.[5]
