The new collaboration of Andrea Ramolo and Cindy Doire: Haunting voices, distinctive songs
 

SCARLETT JANE is one of the most exciting new collaborations in recent Canadian music - the marriage of the distinctive songs and beautifully haunting voices of Andrea Ramolo and Cindy Doire. And now, Stranger, their debut recording, captures their strength and their vulnerability, and a progressive roots sound which embodies the raw and candid demeanor of Lucinda Williams, the moody sensuality of Stevie Nicks and Nick Cave, and the tender playfulness of Dolly Parton.  Both Andrea and Cindy are road warriors. Andrea has two previous releases behind her, while Cindy has three - two of them in French, which has given her a following in both French Canada and Europe.  The singers’ collaborative songwriting, sultry performance style, and full band arrangements open up windows for the duo on both the indie scene and in major markets, nationally and internationally.

Mae Moore March 16th

“...Moore’s honeyed, dreamy sound is inarguably her own.”

Blessed with an artistʼs eye, Mae has been songwriting for over thirty five years. Her songs have been heard in major soundtracks (“Top Gun”), hit television shows and the radio. With two Juno nominations, two SOCAN awards and many chart successes, Mae has forged a career sharing the stage with such folk/rock luminaries as Sarah McLachlan, John Hiatt, Marianne Fathfull, Crosby, Stills and Nash, Richard Thompson and more. Her songwriting skills were recognized by CBS (Sony) which lead to her debut recording in 1990, Oceanview Motel. This success was followed by her album Bohemia, an international hit in 1992, and Dragonfly in 1995. Folklore brings together a stellar group of musicians, each at the top of her or his game in this gorgeous recording (released in March 2011). Accompanying this new release is a companion art book, with MP3 download access to the entire album, a bonus track and full colour plates of Maeʼs artwork. What a treasure chest! and not to be missed. Mae is a 21st century renaissance Canadian woman whose music goes right to the heart of the matter.  To have a listen, visit:  www.MaeMoore.com

David Celia - Nov. 7th

From Mississauga, Ontario, we are so very pleased to present, David Celia in concert. David Celia is a world-class musician who has played for audiences all over the U.K., Germany, U.S.A. and Canada. This past summer David played in Europe including two concerts at the famous Glastonbury Festival in England. His musical style may be described as "roots-rock with hints of folk wrapped up in a pop package" (guitar, bass,drums, piano, ukelele, harmonica).  He is a musician with songwriting that covers diverse themes with passion, joyfulness, humour and real thoughtfulness (listen to "A Bug's Apocalypse"). David's performances are littered with some stunning guitar work-outs.
