With a voice that seamlessly captures intimacy and intensity, ADALINE‘S compelling piano compositions, revealing lyrics, and haunting melodies have been seducing audiences since 2005.

From pulsing rock, to cabaret, to orchestral ballads, ADALINE creates meticulously crafted soundscapes where brass, strings, and vibraphone meet electric guitars and programmed percussion. Classical and pop sensibilities produce soundtracks that are both artistic and accessible. Often compared to the likes of Fiona Apple, Cat Power, and Tori Amos, ADALINE takes her place among these artists as one who is also inspired by the craft of songwriting and the power of performance.

After forming in the fall of 2005, Vancouver indie rockers The Painted Birds have secured a loyal following throughout Canada. Their debut album, So Much For The Rain, was released independently in Canada in August 2007 and within the last year the band has completed two tours of Western Canada, a promotional tour of Ontario, and a twenty-five-show national Canadian tour. The band has drawn massive crowds and gained recognition at industry showcases in Toronto, including Canadian Music Week, The Edge 102.1FM’s Nu Music Nite at the Horseshoe Tavern, and, most recently, headlining a showcase at NXNE. The band’s crowning achievement in 2008 has been receiving multiple touring and showcase grants from FACTOR and MusicBC, which has allowed them to engage in such rigorous touring.
