Gospel, and Folk. Quite the seasoned artist, Craig has become an inuential core to the Sudbury
music scene. Cindy Doire is an award-winning musical veteran whose multi-lingual performances
have gained her acclamations across Canada. This soulful, irtatious, and diverse artist
is currently working on a much-anticipated third album. Faye Blais has been described as
“continuing the thread started by Joni, picked up by Ani and fashioned by Feist”, with the
sweetest melodies coupled with raw acoustics that swiftly turns into the soundtrack to your life.
Two albums in tow and a third album/DVD to be released in May, this globetrotter has
serenaded audiences far and wide - including Taiwan, Canada, and Australia. Sudbury native
Jess Lee recently released her rst solo album under the guide of CANO’s Michael Kendel.
Inspired and stimulated by her Montreal home-base, Lee’s piano-infused ballads remain
passionate yet subtle. With the release of her album “Bright Lights”, Kristen Brutto has been
singing her way through the local music scene for some time. Brutto oers an upbeat and
sincere sound to this group of female artists. Sound for the event will be provided by Innovative
