Canadian Song birds

"So where are you from ?" I asked Brenley MacEachern and Lisa MacIsaac.
"From Toronto" one of them answered.
"So am I" I said, very happy to have met a co-patriot. And such a beautiful one at that.
"Where abouts in Toronto ?"
"Queen and Bathurst"
"Well just travel North on Bathurst till you get to Steeles and you might find me there"

Chit-Chat back and forth about 'Good Old TO'

Then it was time for them to return to the stage and continue a wonderful concert.
These two Canadian singers, appearing under the stage name of "Madison Violet", are on the "Austrian Leg" of their European tour. About 200 Concerts per year keeps them busy and invites them to enlarge their repertoire and improve their style constantly.

Their voices, in two tone harmony, sound like one. Their repertoire consists mostly of their own compositions with serious, but never maudlin, lyrics.

This duo of singers is most ably supported by Adrian Lawryshyn    ( b.&Voc) and Jeff Luciani, (dr & perc ) Those two stem from St. Catherines, Ont.

For me it was a special pleasure to listen to and meet four great Canadian artists.








The lighting ( what there was of it ) was partly fluorescent, partly incandescent and for effect, changed in colour from green to red, to blue, which did not make photography very easy.
In addition, the use of flash would have been disturbing to the artists and is threfore not practiced by

Bertstravels.
