Leon van den Eilkel. The Family, Early Works on Paper

Jane Siberry is a Canadian singer/songwriter best known for “Calling All Angels,” which mingles uncertainty and benediction. She has been a fully independent musician since the mid-'90s, releasing her own albums. Although she has delved into various styles, toying with electronics and jazz, at the core of her music are folky guitar chords or a stately piano that hints at church and chamber music. Her voice has a reedy quaver and a tinge of breathiness like a breeze through a wheat field.

European-based Kiwi Monique Rhodes has played all over the world, toured with Chuck Berry, worked with Peter Gabriel's band, written music for the producers of The Secret, presented a private concert for the Dutch royal family and performed for the Dalai Lama and Carla Bruni (though not at the same time).
