“Mia Sheard could make the Tim Hortons jingle sound like an otherworldly invocation to the gods. The local singer-songwriter has a gift for phrasing and a great voice – it wraps itself like a boa constrictor around fragmented melodies, spanning an awesome range and squeezing out a shimmering beauty.” ~ NOW Magazine

Toronto singer/songwriter Mia Sheard has been immersed in the Canadian music scene for over a decade. Mia and some of her favorite fellow musicians launched what’s become the annual Joni Mitchell night at Toronto’s Hugh’s Room, recorded and broadcast for 2009 CBC’s Canada Live. The line-up features critically acclaimed Mia Sheard, Lori Cullen, Kevin Fox and David Matheson (Moxy Früvous) with an all-star backing band. Joni’s music is not easy to play, therefore not often performed by other artists.

Sheard created “Songs Are Like Tattoos” out of her love of singing, her naturally comedic hosting skills, and her love of Joni Mitchell’s music. “I couldn’t feel more at home with this show”, says Sheard. “I get to laugh my heart out AND sing ‘Blue’. What more could anyone want?”

Tickets are $30 adults and $10 students and are available at www.selectyourtickets.com or by calling the RCA 250-717-5304

Beattie is astonishingly adept at transforming himself from one character to another in a matter of seconds, calling up echoes of a crotchety Walter Brennan, a gawky Jimmy Stewart or a flustered Bob Newhart

“He Said – She Said” is the new inspired show featuring a collaboration of original songs by Peter Karp and Sue Foley. The project is based around a correspondence the two shared through letters that were written over a year period. These letters started as a casual exchange between two committed performers sharing their common bond of the loneliness of the road, the pain of separation from family and home and above all, the drive to make music. But as time went on the letters they shared became more poignant, more revealing. Those letters became their songs. The result is “He Said – She Said.” The show features songs of two artists in development, sharing artistic purpose and spiritual kinship in a meeting of hearts and minds. Whether they’re performing as an acoustic duo or with their electric band the music encompasses elements of folk, jazz, flamenco, and blues resulting in a show that is moving, literate, romantic, rocking and exciting.

Blues Revue Magazine says ” ‘He Said – She Said’ is a unique, daring idea beautifully executed by two talented, inspired artists unafraid to express themselves outside of – but still influenced by – their respective genres.”

The “He Said-She Said” CD has been released to rave reviews.
