The artists:

Jay Linden

Based an hour west of Toronto, Canada, Jay Linden is a semi-reclusive legend
(1 inch = 1/2 mile) who's been making music for 40 years. He writes and
sings haunting, memorable slices of time and space firmly rooted in a folk
sensibility. His brand new second album, Under The Radar, will be available
in time for the concert, as is his debut Satchel.


Jon Brooks

"Folk songs are not about 'me' and 'my diary of problems' - that's pop. The
folk song is a greater event as it is devoted to 'us' and to how 'we' can -
and must - improve a world so obviously in need of improvement."  2007
Canadian Folk Music Award nominee 'Best Songwriter'.

“Toronto singer/songwriter Jon Brooks is the latest in a long, honourable
-and depleting - line of folksingers who write and perform to further the
cause of social justice.”  - Robert Reid, The Waterloo Record

Rosemary Phelan

"... like love at first sight..." Roger Wise, Restless Mornings
"...full of heart and soul..." Mark Michaelis, Acoustic Harmony
" ...[an] incisive lyricist… songs that deserve a close listen." David
Francey
"…let the beauty of her gorgeous voice… wash over you." Sing Out! magazine
"...the performances cut to the bone..." Bill Garrett, Borealis Records

Rosemary Phelan has run the gamut from calling square dances in the hills of
northern Vermont to singing Mozart in the halls of the Royal Conservatory.
Somewhere between the barn and the recital hall she found the music of her
heart.

The grace and losses encountered during a tumultuous, nomadic childhood,
time spent eking out a hard-won living in the bush, and her years as a
community nurse in the urban core live in Rosemary's songs. She sincerely
hopes that the goodness she's discovered at the root of it all can be found
there, too.


Joe Jencks

"Joe Jencks is the type of musician that will cause you to drop that morning
newspaper or pull your car to the side of the road when you hear his songs.
He is the type of artist that will turn heads in his direction when he walks
onto a stage. His voice will instantly draw you into his passionate songs.
He is the type of musician whose music will become a part of you." -Ron
Olesko, WFDU –FM Teaneck, NJ

Joe Jencks is an international touring performer, songwriter, entertainer,
and educator. From venues like Lincoln Center in New York, to coffee houses,
festivals, spiritual communities, and schools, Joe Jencks via radio, CDs,
web casts, and other musicians. He is noted for his unique merging of
musical beauty, social consciousness, and spiritual exploration. Jencks
weaves a diverse web of stories with brilliant musical skill, ensnaring even
the most rigid of hearts, inviting them to open. His songs invite us to live
inside of our passions and our beliefs.
