Linda Grenier

Linda Grenier

Canadian-born Linda Grenier is a powerful singer who has become an accomplished songwriter, and has released three CD’s of original material to prove it.

Linda spends many hours traveling back and forth from county to city. Her music is often influenced by the hustle and bustle of everyday life as she reflects on it behind the wheel of her car. It’s these everyday inspirations that lead to her first CD release, “GO’IN PICK’IN” in November 2000. Linda’s 2nd CD, appropriately entitled, “ASPHALT RAMBLINGS”, was released on August 28th, 2003.

With her release of “LIFE SAMPLINGS” on August 8, 2008 comes new songs “50 Bucks” and “Hot Spell” which are sure to be a hit.

Her songs range from light-hearted road music (“Driving” and “50 Bucks”) through acerbic commentary (“Find the Kitchen”) all the way to the torchy, evocative “Moonlight” and “Let It Go”.

James McKenty and the Spades

The Spades are simply the best garage outfit in Ontario. Ask Gord Sinclair of the Tragically Hip — he produced the Peterborough band’s new CD, Let It Grow. It conjures up vinyl visions ofCrazy Horse and The Heartbreakers. And The Spades are even better live.

James Cohen

“Lowdown Blues means the same thing in any language. The acoustic music of nineteenth century gypsies expresses the same message. So do soulful ballads from many distant lands. An operatic moan or a folk lament can accomplish the same goals that came to us through pioneers such as Robert Johnson or W.C. Handy. Django Reinhardt knew that. Astor Piazzolla knew that. Many others from the four corners of the world have come to realize that their music shares its meaning and its core with the blues.”

Nashville…energy galore!”

- Nia Music Lounge, Toronto

“Dynamic performer with powerful, vibrant vocals and textured
guitar work.”

- Ottawa Citizen

“…Probably the first thing you’ll notice about Montrealer Elana Harte is her voice: deep, clear and completely commanding of the song structures she arranges around her observations of the human zoo…Harte doesn’t so much follow as walk beside her muse…”
