With musical roots firmly planted in the soil of the Canadian Prairies and the ever-burgeoning music scene in Guelph, Ontario, and with a passion for lyrical vocal harmonies, Tannis Slimmon has been singing, songwriting, recording and touring locally and internationally for over 25 years.
After working with numerous bands including the critically acclaimed female trio The Bird Sisters, her solo career was launched in 2001 with the release of ‘Oak Lake’, followed up in the summer of 2007 by ‘Lucky Blue’, a rich offering of songs and artwork influenced by recent travels to Mali, West Africa and Cuba.
You will find Tannis’ name on over 70 albums, contributing songs or singing harmonies for others including Willie P. Bennett, Valdy and Rheostatics. Tannis plays guitar and mandolin. She performs solo, with her band 'The Uplifters', as well as with the women’s collective, The Pomelos and a trio with Katherine Wheatley and Jude Vadala. She has performed at folk clubs, festivals and community centres across Canada. Her music can be heard on public and college radio across North America. http://www.drog.com/

The Canadian supergroup The Marigolds (Suzie Vinnick, Caitlin Hanford and Gwen Swick) are coming to Music on McLean House Concerts.
Suzie Vinnick is one of my all-time favourites - she won last year's Maple Blues Award for female vocalist of the year and is nominated for a 2009 Juno Award as well. Caitlin Hanford and Gwen Swick are also outstanding solo musicians and both are in Quartette with Sylvia Tyson and Cindy Church. Together Suzie, Caitlin and Gwen are amazing.
