Stephanie has performed and continues to do so in the Montreal music scene, Toronto, New York City and New Jersey with various corporate and Top 40 bands.

   Robert Augello is a Montreal based singer songwriter, who has been playing and performing for the past ten years. From his beginnings with his band Room Eleven, Robert has always been passionate and devoted to his craft. Following numerous shows and recording their EP First Time Again, the band parted ways. Determined to continue making music, Robert became part of the acoustic duo Ten Days Gone, and recorded his first full length album, Live From the Living Room. Although still part of Ten Days Gone, Robert has ventured out on his musical journey accompanied by his trustworthy acoustic guitar to record his first solo acoustic EP, Acoustic Soul.

4. Sapo (folk/jazz)

   Sapo's music is described as:
   Stories told and sang on music for film, a little fair in a box, an imagery and character driven bouquet of pieces delivered by a chameleon-like performer very much in the acting-singing tradition.

   A picked-it-up-in-the-street kind of musician, Sapo likes to tell stories with her songs jumping from guitar to accordion to piano and then back, in French, English, Spanish and German. Studied theater and film making, traveled for a few years in between. Recorded her home made first CD a couple years back and started gigging around Montreal a year ago.

5. The Damn Truth (acoustic rock n' roll)

   She sings her life. He plays the songs of his soul. David and Dave T get them like no one else, give rhythm and depth and keep it all tight and together. It was an evolution. One spanning continents, culture, belief, and time. Dry sands and cold moons. But it happened. And it's all right there, on stage in front of you.

   The Damn Truth.
