COOLGRASS

Coolgrass make musical mischief with bluegrass – no sacred cows for these boys! In addition to their own tongue-in-cheek songs, Coolgrass get their speedy fingers onto James Brown, Mozart, the Beatles, Queen and more in a show that is both musical and visual - and frequently hilarious. Top class bluegrass with a twist.

Coolgrass take the classic bluegrass line-up of banjo, mandolin, guitar and double bass ...then break the rules.  Their 'bent' bluegrass shows and their CDs - Toad Rage, Jaguar Breakdown and Never Put the Banjo Down - have won them fans all over Australia and New Zealand.

PHYLLIS SINCLAIR (CANADA)

Phyllis has earned nominations from the Canadian Aboriginal Music Awards, the Aboriginal Peoples Choice Awards, and praise from numerous music publications. She has written two top ten hits on the Canadian Aboriginal Top 30 Countdown, making it to number one for two consecutive weeks. Her 2008 song “The Manicure” was selected by Musicians with a Cause to be included in their "Life in the Years" CD project. Her song was selected out of over 350,000 entries. Phyllis’ music is heard worldwide on folk and independent radio stations.

The songs of Phyllis Sinclair speak to that part of us that we all share, the human part. Heartfelt observations respectfully wrapped in timeless melodies to evoke the prayers of North Coast Fishers or to share the triumphs of a life truly lived. Phyllis delivers an original sound that has been fittingly described as “haunting”, "powerful", “intimate” and “beautiful”. Masterfully, she creates songs that captivate the heart and the imagination, weaving elements of her Cree culture into the raw realities of her life experience to produce works that have earned her national and international attention. A true story-teller, Phyllis poignantly creates verbal images that gently, and respectfully transport the listener to places, times, and experiences they might not otherwise encounter. From a watery grave in The Wreck of The Dictator to the dark dregs of Main Street, she lights the way to eliminate latent shadows.
