OPENING SET: KIERAN MELADY with MIKE CROCKER.  Tannis and Lewis visit us from Guelph, Ontario.  CFMA Contemporary Vocalist of the Year (2008) winner Tannis has “one of the most beautiful voices I have had the pleasure to listen to.” David Francey

Tannis grew up in a musical family on a farm in the prairies of western Canada.  In 1980 she moved to Ontario where she began a serious professional music career.  During the 80s and 90s she was a founding member of various roots bands and appeared as a special guest on recordings and performances with groups such as the Rheostatics, the Barenaked Ladies and the Grievous Angels.

After eleven years with the legendary trio The Bird Sisters she struck off on her own in 2001.  Her recordings and concerts are highly regarded by critics and audiences alike.

“A breathtaking vocalist with a bright, angelic disposition, Slimmon is a favourite folk attraction whose harmonies are as warm as her smile.” Exclaim
