Fan reaction to Canada Live! show
Category: Blogging

..

Hi,
We've never met, but I just heard your Railway Club live gig on
the CBC while driving home from an awesome weekend up north. I was
thrilled enough with your tunes, that I called my friend long distance
to listen to you. My wife liked your music. I heard two key words:
Galiano and multiinstrumentalist father. Perhaps, I thought, you were
the child of the amazing guy with the epic one man band I photographed years ago while I lived in Vancouver. No way.....


So the small world part is that I checked out your web site....and
there is this photograph of the one-man-band-guy with his family. Your
dad.
I listened to him for a long time back on the street. I
thought he was totally cool and talented in his musical Rube Goldberg
machine. I may even be able to find the photo, but it's unlikely, I
have thousands to sort through.

I live in Toronto now. I'll try to make the Waldorf School gig on Oct. 21.
Hope your dad and the family are well.
Love your tunes.

Since releasing her debut CD, 'At My Table' in July of ’06, T. Nile has toured her 'unique and heartfelt sonic textures' through Canada, Alaska, Germany and Denmark, to packed houses and sold out shows, as well as at some of Canada’s top music festivals, including the Edmonton and Vancouver Folk Music Festivals and the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival. In 2005 T. Nile was awarded the title of 'Best New/Emerging Artist' at the Canadian Folk Music Awards, as well as being named 'Critic’s Favorite New Discovery' in Penguin Eggs, and in late 2007, Nile was nominated for 'Best Contemporary Vocalist' once again at the Canadian Folk Music Awards. As a sign of her growing grass-roots popularity, T. Nile has for some time now been in the top 10 most popular artists in her categories on Myspace, reaching 1 in both Roots and Americana in Canada. 

Ann Vriend is a mesmerizing folk/pop performer, compared by critics to the likes of Regina Spektor and Kate Bush, but “with a style all her own”.  Her prolific career has seen the release of 3 full length independent albums in 5 years, which combined have sold over 10,000 copies to date.  Ann has graced festival stages around the world, headlining in such places as Germany and Australia, and has been invited to record at such prestigious studios as Sony, NYC, the Hit Factory, NYC, and Magnet Vision, LA. In 2002 she won first prize in a songwriting contest which took her to Nashville, TN, and has been commissioned to write songs for organizations such as the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne, AU.  She has also had a number of hits on local commercial radio in her hometown of Edmonton.  On stage she is a riveting and endearing performer, as testimony she has been consistently outselling top Canadian artists at festivals this summer and on bills this fall.
