Women In The Round at the 2009 Vancouver Island MusicFest
Recorded: Jul. 12, 2009
Venue: Vancouver Island MusicFest, Courtenay, BC
Genres: Singer/Songwriter
Joanna Chapman-Smith, Kate Reid and Sarah MacDougall are all strong, individual, Canadian singer-songwriters. Together as Women in the Round, they are a dynamic stage presence.
Joanna Chapman-Smith is a multi-instrumentalist who has roots in New Zealand, Italy and Brazil. Her songs are as eclectic as her upbringing, with beautiful lyrics delivered with a rare, emotionally-infused style that melts the hardest of hearts.
Kate Reid is a whip smart wordsmith armed with a guitar, a cache of harmonicas and a knack for candid story-telling and songwriting that is charged with humour and social-political commentary.
Swedish-born songwriter, Sarah MacDougall is a storyteller, entertainer and minstrel with a Euro-Folk Americana style, a haunting voice and songs to match.
With intelligent lyrics, and stellar guitar-playing coming from the Grassy Knoll stage, the audience soon embraced the warm vibes of these three Women In The Round.
