Ariana Gillis
"I'm staggered by how good she is. There is not much that impresses me these days but after hearing her tracks I can honestly say shes the single most exciting thing Ive heard in a very long time. Bernie Taupin (Elton John's lyricist)
"Ariana is two people in one. Shes a normal nice demure 21-year-old, but when she begins to sing her entire body is taken over by the most powerful force, and the songs become a lot more than just words or music. her stage presence is the most visually grabbing Ive ever seen. I was stunned at the intense connection between herself and what she was singing; I thought of the strength of character that embodied Janis Joplins performances. Steve Wozniak (Apple Computers)
"Ariana Gillis may be the best new emerging artist anywhere, PERIOD!" Dave Marsh (Former Editor: Rolling Stone Magazine, Founder: Creem Magazine)
Colleen Brown
Colleen Brown tears at our hearts as she does her own. With versatile songs and a voice akin to Joni Mitchell, she is relentlessly unafraid. Her 4th album Direction - co-produced by Joel Plaskett - sees Brown topping Canadian college radio charts, achieving rotation on CBC, and touring Germany and the UK. Kerry Doole of exclaim.ca says 'she is the rare vocalist that impresses equally on vibrant soul and quiet folk...travelling in Brown's Direction is one very pleasing trek.'
2016 sees Colleen joining forces with a multi-instrumental mainstay, Ontarios Elijah Abrams (The Abrams Brothers, Rocket Surgery, Oh Susanna).
"The talents of this Edmonton-based vocalist shine like a beacon. Her boldly written originals...have the good bones and great melodic rhythm of classic big-screen pop songs" - Globe & Mail
One of Canada's premiere songwriters. With a voice like a clarion call she's one of our premiere singers, too. - Judith Lynch, CBCs First Play
