Canada's Sarah Harmer - Pendulums

Sarah Harmer is a Canadian treasure with fans around the world.
Visit her facebook page for lots of great information on this single minded musician.
Taken from her facebook artists page.
"In the dog-eat-dog world of the music business, Canadian Sarah Harmer has made a habit of taking her time and doing things her own, unhurried way. While many artists would have quickly followed up on the success of 2000's You Were Here, Harmer patiently waited four years. "Ever since I was a little kid," she told Nicholas Jennings in Maclean's, "I thought I should have lived in the 1800s when things were simpler." Harmer's deliberate, careful approach, along with her warm vocal style, has been an essential ingredient in the crafting of three distinct albums between 1999 and 2004. "Harmer has an incredibly versatile voice," wrote Naomi de Bruyn in Green Man Review; "not only is it sensuous, but so emotion-laden that she can reach deeply within and turn you inside out when combined with her heart-felt lyrics."

These City Lights by Billy the Kid (Two Versions for You)

"Witness phenomenal Vancouver, B.C. singer/songwriter Billy The Kid. Culled from the same passionate ambrosia that spawned musical greats such as Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Billy Bragg and Elvis Costello, this golden throat has been accosting the world of music for years with her refined craftsmanship, bold musical talent, extraordinary songs and overt beauty—aesthetically and aurally—epitomized on latest EP The Lost Cause (Lost Records)."
Billy performed at the Cafe Deux Soleils as part of a fundraising concert I produced for Vancouver's COOP radio. It was wonderful to see her live and I am so happy to bring you two versions of 'These City Lights.' Her latest news is she is presenting at the CMW conference.
Here is the official song video for These City Lights.


And here she is performing These City Lights live on The Hour in front of a studio audience in Vancouver.

Stars - Your Ex-Lover Is Dead

Searching for Stars online I found this description by mademan, 'Although affiliated with the all-encompassing musical collective that is Broken Social Scene, Stars are a great Canadian indie band in their own right. They’ve also released considerably more material than BSS, perhaps as a result of not having over a dozen members to keep track of at any given point in time.' It pretty much says it all.

PIPER MCKINNON - BLANKET

As her reverbnation site states,
"When someone dared a 19-year-old Piper to sing an old blues song at an open mic jam, they had no idea what they had started. Neither had she! A natural intuition about music and a ‘good ear’ she marched up on stage and belted out “Love Me Like A Man”! That was that. This felt good! She knew that THIS was what she wanted to do.
A few more years playing piano and singing has seen Piper mature into an accomplished songwriter and recognised talent in Canada. Her early influences of Albert King, Bonnie Raitt, among others have seen her through several performances both here and abroad. With a ‘myspace’ site proudly handling over twelve thousand ‘friends’, she is steadily making her mark on the music world"
Piper recently played the Musical Expressions Concert Series in Richmond and you can hear more of her songs on her reverbnation site
