"They look good, they sound good, they are good." -The McGarrigle Sisters
"The best thing about Montréal is that with all its innovative musical acts and countless indie and hybrid bands breaking ground, there is an equally innovative brew of country-inspired groups that can turn more than a few heads. Expect hauntingly beautiful harmonies, devilish beats and ivories, and a cold set of steel strings to strangle your misfortunes with." -Pop Montreal
"From folk-like melodies to lush harmonies to rockin' love songs, these ladies can do it all" - London Free Press
"...built on the strength of four strong, confident voicesthe EP is honest and heartfelt, as if the four have been singing together for years"- Pulse Niagara
 
 
Bio:
LADIES OF THE CANYON
Ladies of the Canyon have an early seventies country sound that is a direct line back to the Flying Burrito Brothers,Emmylou Harris and Linda Rondstadt. They have this torch song meets country music over a bottle of fine canadian whiskey, a now trademark sound created to be like nothing else by a musical friendship like nothing else.
Ladies of the Canyon are lush twangin' rock one minute and heart-wrenching soulful complaint the next; flooded with rich and dreamy 4 part harmonies, their music is usually hailed as a breath of fresh air and always follows the spirit of the moment.
The all-female quartet consisting of Senja Sargeant, Maïa Davies, Jasmine Bleile and Anna Ruddick met while gigging as members of other bands on their local bar circuit. The eccentric new friends soon got together each week to sip wine and make music. These deliriously fun "meetings" soon became songwriting sessions and resulted in the formation of what is now Ladies of the Canyon, the sexy breeders of a timeless, roots-influenced sound that is addictive and moving.
Since transforming their "girls night out" into a full-force musical project, Ladies of the Canyon have been playing their hearts out, from showcasing this year at Canadian Music Week (as a part of renowned entertainment lawyer Chris Taylor's showcase of artists to watch)to joining the stage with artists like Patrick Watson, Danny Michel,Plants and Animals and Black Diamond Bay promoting their debut EP. With an early on recording experience working with industry legend George Massenburg (whose credits run from Lyle Lovett to The Dixie Chicks), and a BRAVOFACT video under their belts, LOTC have been the Canadian darlings of the record company A&R reps and execs, and are currently in talks for the forthcoming release of what will be their first full length release.
And all the while, their live presence has already attracted attention both from the media and from their growing audience; since signing with the  PAQUIN ENTERTAINMENT booking agency, they have played over a 100 shows, traveling and garnering fans in canada, with visits to California and Nashville as well. After their recent successful cross-canada tour which included stops CMW and JunoFest this spring, the Ladies will be busy this summer touring major canadian festivals, including Hillside and Stan Rogers Festival. Things are going well for this hard working outfit, both audience and media response has been strong, from being profiled by their hometown press as "Noisemakers 2008" (Montreal Mirror), to being featured in American Industry magazine "HITS" as rising stars and on the cover of local papers in every town they tour in. LOTC was also the focus of a CBC Radio 2 national broadcast of a special live performance, hailed as "one of the best bands to play [their]concert series".
They are building a fan base on the tried and true principles: write meaningful songs with hooks, play honestly, and don’t be afraid to be your outrageous selves. People are responding, and everyone seems to agree: this serendipitous collaboration is here to flourish. With the unexpected combination of their distinct, beautiful voices, their dedication to honest songwriting and their knockout presence, these girls will break your heart, make you smile, cry, dream and dance. Enjoy.
