I have been blessed to have some of the most wonderful friends in the world, many of whom are FABULOUS musicians! Some aren't gay and some aren't Christian, but their music is worthy of listening and purchasing, and I want to promote them. So here are some of my favourite people.
Jeanine Noyes is not gay, but she's a beautiful Spirit-filled Christian and the most versatile musician I know. She jumps easily from old standards like "The Tennessee Waltz", to 60's rock 'n roll, to blues, jazz, folk, country and classical. She's a fabulous singer/songwriter/instrumentalist/entertainer. Jeanine has been compared to Sarah MacLaughlan and Carly Simon.
Her roots are in Kingston but Toronto is now her home. If you get a chance to see this woman perform live, prepare yourself for a great evening of entertainment - and if Fergus Marsh is accompanying her, you're in for a double treat. Fergus plays, among other instruments, the Chapman Stick with incredible expertise. If you're not familiar with what a Chapman Stick is, read about it at Stick Enterprises. It's an amazing instument in the hands of an accomplished musician. Fergus has played with Bruce Cockburn for many years and more recently with Steve Bell.
Jeanine has just released a most unique Christmas CD. If you want to give a special present to someone, please buy one from her website.
Jenica Rayne has been a dear, dear friend for many years. She is an amazingly talented full-time, professional musician who totally organized the music and food for the Opening Night of our Gallery Cafe. After that incredible, unforgettable night she, and her many bands, played nearly every month for us, always attracting large crowds. I will forever be in her debt for all her help at "The Gallery".
Some of the clips from her website describe her best.
"Jenica is committed to education and good living. Her music is inspired by her deep desire for harmony and peace. . . . an advocate of social and personal change, an accomplished guitarist, passionate songwriter and seasoned performer."
"She is equally comfortable on stage solo or with a band, always engaging her audience with personal stories and humour. She has been heard on CanadaÕs CBC radio, featured on Vancouver's Coop radio, and numerous local radio stations. In 2000 she successfully toured Canada with her all female band 'Rhythm & Rayne' playing shows from BC to Quebec. She was the initiator and organizer of 'Queen Size Groove', an all female swing/jazz band based in Kingston, Ontario playing music festivals in the summer of 2002. In the summer of 2003 she embarked on a tour of Canada teaming up with violinist Brian Flynn and reuniting with her band 'Rhythm & Rayne' in Vancouver."
Bev Souliere is a great singer/songwriter based in Ottawa. She doesn't have any single CD's out yet but is the lead singer for Women of Wabano.
"The Women of Wabano sing songs that are celebratory, that are traditional and that honour women. Their album, Voices, seeks to send positive traditional messages for Aboriginal people. The album also helps raise funds to support children's programs offered by the Wabano Centre for Aboriginal Health in Ottawa, with all proceeds from the sale of the CD going toward funding those programs." (from Wind Speaker, Aug 1, 2007, Whiskeyjack, Teneil)
I was fortunate enough to date Bev for a while and at the "Girlz Like That" BBQ she sang my favourite song which I videotaped. It doesn't do her justice but it will give you an idea of what an incredible talent she is. Click here to see Bev singing impromptu.
Harkness - Steve is not gay, nor is he Christian, but he is the adult son of my first love. (She is straight. I was only 12 and she was my swimming counselor but she has remained a loyal friend all these years) and her son is an incredible, creative and inovative musician!
From his website: "When there is no separation between the listener and the sound there is HARKNESS."
"Toronto musician Steve Marrs has a gift for composing dynamic pop tunes similar in spirit to some of the Flaming Lips catchiest, weirdest and most fantastical numbers. The tracks on this independent debut release lock listeners in with infectious melody before seamlessly shifting gears between hooks and grooves and occasionally soaring with pseudo orch-pop flourishes."

Girlz Like That are an absolute blast! Their music is fun and funky and if you like rock with some heavy bass, this is the band for you. Check out the musical clips on their website, but in all honesty, they don't do them justice. Make sure you listen to the Bonus Clip at the bottom of the page called Jezebel. These gals are awesome performers! If you get a chance to see them live, don't miss the opportunity. They turn a concert into a party.
From their website: "With each of the Girlz writing music and lyrics and singing lead and harmony vocals, they produce a diverse blend of original material reminiscent of many artists like, Fleetwood Mac, Queen, Melissa Etheridge, Bob Dylan, Indigo Girls and Heart. The HITMAN pulls it all together with driving beats and complimentary percussive elements.
Girlz Like That & the HITMAN tunes come in many different flavors with waves of in-depth texture. From solid hard-edged rock to underground pop, tainted blues, dandelion folk and whatever else inspires them--you can be sure to find a groove that satiates your musical hunger!"
