Since their Canadian Folk Music Award-winning album "True Love Don鈥檛 Weep", ukulele/cello duo James Hill and Anne Janelle have brought their "crystal clear sound filled with warmth" (Bob Mersereau, CBC Radio) to audiences in over 15 countries. In concert, JUNO-nominee James is "a dazzling live performer with a genial, low-key sense of humour" (Edmonton Journal) and Anne brings her "gorgeous syrupy voice" (Acoustic Magazine) to songs that are "inventive, entertaining, beautifully written and brilliantly performed" (R2 Magazine). A night out with James and Anne is "the perfect evening of tunes, stories and musical virtuosity" (Wellington Dominion-Post).
Their music might be described as folk roots in music-journalist-speak. But really, it鈥檚 hard to nail this couple down into a single genre, as their influences cover an extensive selection of renowned artists, including ironic pop/rock musician, Joe Plaskett and the new folk sounds of The Good Lovelies. Yet, this barely explains the magic of hearing James plunking the ukulele as Anne strums her cello, playing classics and original songs written by Hill. Incidentally, aside from 小蓝视频 brilliant musicians, they鈥檙e both excellent vocalists.
A special thanks goes to the Assiniboia鈥檚 local art council, for introducing the town and district to many inventive, expressive and talented Canadian musicians since last autumn and into this spring.聽 聽 聽 聽 聽
