  • Bio

    ..Tenth Avenue Music is a Toronto-based professional development company dedicated to making good music happen. .. .. Tenth Avenue Music offers management, publicity, promotion, and booking for musicians. .. .. .. ..JADEA KELLY.. .. Blessed with what many call a hushed Loretta Lynn-esque voice, she is now performing regularly around Canada and has opened for the likes of MELISSA MCLELLAND, LUKE DOUCET and THE GOOD LOVELIES. Her second album, Eastbound Platform, with famed producer, David Baxter, was released in April 2010. Eastbound Platform features special guests Joshua Cockerill, Jack Marks, Lori Yates and Justin Rutledge. .. .. Following her 2007 collaboration with Juno nominated Protest the Hero, Jadea released her first CD, Second Spring, and won “Best Country” honors at the Toronto Independent Music Awards in 2008. .. .. Check out ..www.myspace.com/jadeak.. for more information. .. .. ..What people are saying about Jadea Kelly:.. .. .. "This singer-songwriter is a popular member of the Toronto, ON roots scene, and the high quality of this, her second album, deserves to bring her wider attention. Kelly's sound falls a little more on the country side of the fence than many of her peers, and her vocals have the unaffected, openly emotional quality needed to shine in that context. This is a delightful album". ..– Exclaim! Magazine.. .. .. Lay My Body Down: Gold-dusted mandolin provides the crowning touch to an alt-country nugget that proves you can sometimes actually play it soft without sounding more icky than Nashville circa ’93. ..- Georgia Straight Magazine.. .. .. .. .. ..JOSHUA COCKERILL.. .. Toronto songwriter Joshua Cockerill found his country roots growing up in Alberta. After moving to Toronto, he took to writing and performing alternative country music, reflecting his western pride with an eastern big-city sensibility. After kicking around the local music scene for a few years, Joshua decided to break his piggy bank and independently finance his first recordings. "I've known I wanted to be a musician since I was ten years old," says Cockerill, "You could say that everything I saved up over the years was preparing for the making of this album." .. .. Joshua's debut album, The Trick With Your Heart I'm Learning To Do, was released in November 2009 and he is constantly touring Canada playing bars and festivals. .. .. The Trick With Your Heart I'm Learning To Do features guest appearances by Serena Ryder, Justin Rutledge, Jack Marks, Greg Cockerill, and Dustin Bentall, among others. .. .. Check out ..www.myspace.com/joshuacockerill.. for more information. .. .. ..What people are saying about Joshua Cockerill:.. .. .. "Joshua Cockerill is f***ing amazing. Buy his record. Now." ..- Serena Ryder.. .. .. 'As a songwriter, Joshua is one of the bright lights on the Canadian scene, and has one of the best new voices I've heard. Both sonically and lyrically, his album towers above any first attempt I've heard recently. I'm going to wager that Joshua will be around for quite some time.' ..- Justin Rutledge.. .. .. [The Trick With Your Heart I'm Learning To Do] is the 21-year old's debut disc and it reveals an artist of strong potential. He has a relaxed, melodic vocal style and a deft touch as a lyricist. Boosted by Ryder's harmony vocals, jaunty opening cut "Dance With You" is tailor-made for radio play. This is a highly promising beginning." ..- Exclaim!.. .. .. .. .. ..JACK MARKS.. .. Having only just performed his CD release for Two Of Everything on October 9th 2009 to a packed house at Toronto’s legendary Dakota Tavern, Marks is wasting no time in adding to his growing body of work. “Now that I’ve started a recording career I have no desire to wait a long time between albums” says Marks “for years I put a lot of effort into pursuing my education (Marks holds a four year English B.A. and a B. Ed) but now that period of my life is over and I just want to make records.” People often acknowledge evidence of Marks’ English background in the songs he crafts. Like well written poetry, rarely is there a wasted word among his lyrics tightly packed with imagery, humour and sorrow. If Two of Everything is any indication about the quality of music to be expected from Marks in the future then his fans and critics will not be disappointed. .. .. Check out ..www.myspace.com/jackmarksmusic.. for more informaton. .. .. ..What people are saying about Jack Marks:.. .. .. "Jack Marks is the real deal. He ups the ante for the rest of us just by being in this town... I can say without a shaving of hesitation that 'The Dress Song' was the best song I heard in all of 2009" ..- Corin Raymond.. .. .. "Jack Marks writes not only songs, but statues." ..- Justin Rutledge.. .. .. “Jack Marks has hit the bulls eye when it comes to straight up blue-jean wearing, whisky-sipping, two-stepping country blues music. Marks has crafted a wholly endearing album of tunes that could stand up in any barroom, juke box, or country music station that I'd darken the door of, place my money on, or tune-in to.” ..- Amanda Putz (CBC Bandwidth).. .. .. .. .. ..SCOTT McCORD & THE BONAFIDE TRUTH.. .. Far from an overnight success, Scott McCord’s stars have been aligning for some time now – thanks to a painstaking attention-to-detail and a burning passion that spills from the stage. His live show is a spectacle you won’t soon forget – which is exactly the idea. As front man to a tight soul revue, complete with a slick horn section, McCord is the one to watch. He seethes with furious passion – all balls ’n’ brass – born of a deep-rooted love for what he’s doing, delivering a high-torque show with all the sweat-soaked conviction of a natural. McCord and his Bonafide Truth deserve to be here, achieving full lift-off as their debut record, “Blues For Sunshine”, continues to bathe in rightful acclaim. His writing bears original fruit and his sights are locked and loaded as he unleashes his rich amalgam of solid, soulful influences on all those in need of a soulful fix. Get ready. .. ..
