Ember Swift & Layah Jane FOLKUS DOUBLE BILL

Saturday, FEBRUARY 17 * SHOWTIME 8pm

Ember Swift's music styles extend from jazz to funk to folk to punk. Together with band mate and co-creator Lyndell Montgomery on violin and bass, Ember weaves politics and poetics with inventive musical arrangements, taking on everything from globalization to consumer awareness to sexual politics. Touring relentlessly to all points on the compass, she is just completing her fifth Australian tour. 'The Dirty Pulse', her ninth release, is a celebration of life, the living, and the embedded hope in us all. Her passion and fury are infectious.

Based in Toronto, Layah Jane is a hearty young musician with a mission. With soulful vocals and a poetic, articulate tongue, her sound recalls Joni Mitchell, Rickie Lee Jones and Ani Difranco, with a resonance all her own. Layah is a spirited performer when she takes the stage, transporting listeners to a place where emotion is raw, reflection is deep, and revolution is not only possible, but necessary. With a relatively short twenty-four years on earth, it sounds like the world is knocking at her door. She is a DJ, entrepreneur and an award-winning songwriter.

Ember Swift and Lyndell Montgomery sound like ...
"the bilingual love child of Paul Simon and Laurie Anderson who is being raised by Joan Jett."

"Layah has created a hybrid mix of funky jazz reggae... folk pop that enters your ear like cotton candy and melts on your tongue."
- Mike Grutka, Northeast in Tune

raintree CD release celebration —Songs of Eden--This Saturday

raintree CD release celebration -Songs of Eden


Saturday, November 25th, 2006
Iron Works Pub (Almonte), behind Thoburn Mill and near waterfall by railway bridge
8:00 pm, $10 cover

Finally... after a few winters of wood-shedding and musical "alchemy", raintree releases a new album of world-folk music . The long awaited CD, entitled "Songs of Eden", is an unusual and hypnotic blend of Celtic and African music.

raintree and friends are celebrating their CD release with a live performance on Saturday, November 25th in Almonte - including several new songs from the CD, far-out songs from the raintree back catalogue, and a few strange traditional and cover tunes thrown in for good measure. The band line-up includes Ian Douglas (piano, drums, vocals), Steve Reside (guitar, vocals, percussion), Greg T.Brown (violin, concertina, vocals), and Julie Larocque (vocals, percussion) along with a few special guests. It should be a great night, and we'd love to have you join us.

Seating is very limited, so please contact either Steve or Ian to reserve your tickets soon!

Tickets available from Steve and Ian or from the Iron Works Pub (613-256-7840)

JR's Friday November 24th 6.30-9.30 pm. No cover charge

Le Jazz de Sylvie
Vocals: Sylvie Grenétte
Piano: Jean-Pierre Allain
Bass: Bob Langley

A last minute cancellation by Scott Poll and the Pollcats (who promise to come at a later date) gives us the opportunity to invite singer Sylvie Grénette this month.
Sylvie began singing when she was three or four years old and hasn't stopped since.
As a young student, she was always part of the school choir, sang and listened to music practically everyday at home and still remembers her brother asking her to stop singing along to tv commercials! She also participated in many plays, shows and talent contests where she would often be in the winning category. She took private lessons for a few years and carried on to be the lead vocalist of several musical Rock groups, mostly in the Ottawa area. After wanting to expand her horizons, she put together her own Swing/Blues project which brought her to some of the most exclusive clubs in the area. Sylvie finally found her niche in the traditional Jazz genres of the 1930s, 40s, and 50s. She now has a trio and will often bring in other featured musicians to join her for special venues. She is well-recognized for the passion she demonstrates while singing and for virtually living the lyrics of the songs.
