What's Happening
The quintet of Jessie and The Gents, consisting of Jessie Hardegger - vocals and mandolin, Rick Noorlander - vocals and guitar, Markus Fritsche - vocals and bass, Rainer Hagmann - Fiddle, and Putzie Mayr - vocals and dobro, have firmly arrived on the country-acoustic scene.
Their debut album, Jessie & the Gents - On the Rise, was released in autumn 2017 and is available on iTunes and Spotify.
In May 2018 they won first prize of the Swiss Country Music Awards and received the award of 'best song' with 'I ain't gonna ride with you'.
The joy and the fire felt by this acoustic crew clearly shines through in the Music. 'back to the basics' is the order of the day. They perform originals, as well as songs from Alison Krauss, Norah Jones and others, simply executed but played with much love and enthusiasm, and to a very high Standard.
Genre: Roots and Bluegrass
Le quintet Jessie and The Gents, composé de Jessie Hardegger (chant et mandoline), Rick Noorlander (chant et guitare), Markus Fritsche (chant et basse), Rainer Hagmann (violon) et Putzie Mayr (chant et dobro), s'est imposé sur la scène country acoustique.
Leur premier album, « Jessie & the Gents - On the Rise », est sorti à l'automne 2017 et est disponible sur iTunes et Spotify.
En mai 2018, ils ont remporté le premier prix des Swiss Country Music Awards et le prix de la « meilleure chanson » avec « I ain't gonna ride with you ».
La joie et la fougue de ce groupe acoustique transparaissent clairement dans leur musique. Le « retour aux sources » est à l'ordre du jour. Ils interprètent des originaux, ainsi que des chansons d'Alison Krauss, Norah Jones et d'autres, exécutées simplement mais jouées avec beaucoup d'amour et d'enthousiasme, et à un très haut niveau.
The Carolines, a phenomenal vocal trio from Edmonton, Chloe Albert, Lesley Pelletier, and Katie Perman, apply their solid vocal harmonies to old country classics from Dolly Parton to Hank WIlliams, to the McGuire Sisters. Their humour is infectious, and with clever arrangements and spine-tingling harmonies, they breathe new life into the old songs, putting an authentic classic spin on the contemporary tunes. In the band’s ten years together, they have become the sweethearts of many Alberta festivals, music venues, folk clubs and house concerts.
Genre: Classic Country and Western/Three-Part Vocal Harmony
