***************************
INNISFIL - Guelph musicians Tannis Slimmon and Katherine Wheatley will be joined by their new bandmate, Angie Nussey from Orillia to perform their show Song's For The Snowy Season.
With glorious voices, stunning harmonies, humourous stories and top notch song writing, Boreal celebrates the coming of winter and the spirit of the holiday season.
Their seasonal concert of original songs and holiday classics has become an annual tradition.
“Boreal throws a cozy blanket around their audience with beautiful harmonies and heart-warming songs.” – Folkway Music
Tannis Slimmon's career has spanned more than 35 years. She was a member of the Bird Sisters and has sung harmony for the Rheostatics, David Francey and Grievous Angels among countless others. She earned the 2008 Canadian Folk Music Award for Contemporary Vocalist of the Year. Her solo album Lucky Blue was named one of the Top 10 Albums of 2008 in the Penguin Eggs magazine critics’ poll. It earned a Golden Quill Award for songwriting and was 16th on Galaxie Folk/Roots Channel’s Top Spins of 2008. The song “Ernest, Charlie and Allen” garnered an Independent Music Award for Best Folk/Roots Song.
Angie Nussey is an award-winning Canadian recording artist and producer from Orillia, Ontario. Since 1999, she has released six, full-length albums and won over 15 industry awards for songwriting, vocals, and performance. She is probably best known for her emotional, philosophical and at times autobiographical ballads, but she doesn’t miss an opportunity to poke fun at everyday situations, the human condition, not to mention herself. Angie is downright funny and a moving, beautiful musician.
Katherine Wheatley performs as a solo artist as well as with the Toronto supergroup Betty and the Bobs and in Wendell and Wheat, a duo with Canadian Country Music Hall of Famer, Wendell Ferguson. Her song “Hallelujah” won a 2009 Golden Quill award and has become a standard in sing-along circles. Her 2010 solo show in Charlottetown was selected "Performance of the Year.” Two of her songs were selected for the new Rise Again Songbook (30th anniversary publication of Rise Up Singing). She has performed on CBC Radio’s Vinyl Café and CTV’s Canada AM.
Through her program Youthsongs, she has written over 200 songs with kids and produced over 25 school CDs. Katherine is a singer and zodiac driver for GAdventures in Antarctica and the Arctic. Come and join us for another great night of music and friendship here at Innisfil Live Music!
