Crystal Plamondon is a talented bilingual songwriter, singer, and performer with a twenty-year track record of consistently delivering passionate concerts that cover an emotional range from heart-warming ballads to rockin’ country and zydeco. Crystal never fails to connect with her audience! She just released a new CD On a Song & a Prayer and one of the tunes from the recording “Forever More” was featured on the hit CBC-TV series Heartland.
Emma-Lee Armed with a voice that transports you, Emma-Lee chose not to rest on this strength alone. She instead put a sincere focus on becoming a great songwriter and the results of her efforts are fully evidenced throughout her debut CD Never Just A Dream. Her weakness for a great pop melody turns out to be one of her greatest strengths. Saucy and sweet, pensive and pure, Never Just A Dream offers a candid peek inside the romantic heart.
Laurie Kerr moved to Nashville in pursuit of becoming a stronger songwriter. She's written with Andrew Gold, Steve Fox, Patricia Conroy, Colin Linden (Blackie & the Rodeo Kings), Gord Matthews (Ian Tyson, kd lang) and Spirit of the West's Vince Ditritch, and performed with artists like Lari White, Gretchen Peters, Michelle Wright, Lisa Brokop, Joy Lynn White, and Derec Ruttan. Whether she's rockin' in Nashville with her band at the Exit Inn or in an acoustic round at the Bluebird Cafe, Laurie says she's most at home on stage and is blessed to be living out her dream.
Rob Heath is first and foremost a storyteller who just happens to be a songwriter. We all have things we wish we could say. Rob decided to say them with rich melodies and lyrics delivered in a voice haunting in its simplicity. He has written for Glen Campbell Music, Criterion/Atlantic Music and Don Goodman Music in the USA. In late November, 2008, Rob released his latest CD One More Day Above Ground, which is doing extremely well on radio worldwide.
