The fact that she has one of those >grrrrrrrrrrl >power songs entitled "Feminist" doesn't help :) She actually sounds very little like Ani, save for some of her early material. "Feminist", while admittedly *very* Ani-esque (and a *fabulous* song to boot) is more of an anomaly in her repertoire - she's actually a little shy about playing it live because of the very brash lyrics. ;-) It was just one of those songs that came out as an exasperated response to that very '90s question, "So, are you a feminist, or what?" ;-P She's got three albums out, and they're all quite different in terms of their sound... Some of her songs, especially the earlier ones, sound a little like Ani, with more of a folk edge, but she sings with more of a higher, sweeter soprano tone on most of her songs. - - Tab :) _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Both those guys are, like Kevin himself, frequent sidemen for various Canadian acts. Tim plays guitar in Kim Stockwood's band (as does Kevin sometimes) and is also in local indie band The Supers (featuring other local lights such as Starling's Maury LaFoy). Fergus has done a bunch of jazz stuff but plays with the usual pop suspects as well. >For his own set, Kevin brought out a zillion friends to join him on >stage. Having been a musician for as long as he has, I'm sure finding >them wasn't a problem. I recognized Mark Mariash when I walked in. How apt. :) For a guy who's played with as many other musicians as he has, it's nice to know that his peers are there for his own music as well. I was at Sarah Harmer's CD release party at Lee's Palace last week (which was utterly sublime, BTW), where Kevin played cello and bass and sang backup vocals, and heard two girls behind me talking: "Oh, *that* guy. I've seen that guy play for *everybody*." ;-) - - Tab :) _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
