MYROL consists of Joanne and Haley MYROL: The Band - Fred LaRose on bass Gord Matthews on guitar Paul Martineau on percussion
“The Mother Daughter Duo brings an amazing selection of heart felt songs that will fit into just about anybody's record collection.”
JOANNE MYROL: Dance the Rodeo Round
“Dance the Rodeo Round” . . . This album is timeless, entertaining, warm and becomes a part of you…much like a favorite pair of slippers or lucky shirt…you’ll keep playing this album until it’s worn out, and still keep on playing it…”

It all starts, and ends, with the voices. Those who dare to be different are different and MYROL- an Edmonton based mother daughter duo use their music as a challenge to move forward through their original tunes, love-of-lyric, and comfortable harmony. Their music cuts a wide path and crosses over quite comfortably.
Any shorthand attempts to classify MYROL, usually describe them as something along the lines of “Americana” or “Roots” or “Alt Country” - none of which are necessarily improper. They were best described at Junofest as “Fusion Country”. They offer a grass roots level music which is considered new and refreshing. But their songs still have a certain hint of comfortable ‘old’ familiarity.
They most recently played main stage at The Big Valley Jamboree – Canada’s largest country music festival the day of the killer storm (see blog), The Calgary Folk Festival and The Canadian Country Music Association’s Post Awards Party. MYROL has even performed for royalty – The Prince of Monaco and Prince Edward at the World Games in Edmonton. They are currently distributed by Icon/Fontana North/Universal in Canada and Columbus/Rounder Europe in Europe.
They are being played on radio stations all over the world, charting 7 on The New Music Weekly Charts (just one step away from hitting Music Row and Billboard). They’ve toured Europe five times; performed at festivals in Australia and New Zealand; named Billy Block’s ‘Western Beat Magazine’s Group of the Year’ in Nashville. MYROL won 2nd in Billboard’s World Song Contest; won the Calgary Folk Festival Songwriting Competition’s ‘Best Song’ and ‘Runner Up’ for The Best Alberta Song. They’ve played huge stages – one in Lithuania when they were the featured band for 30,000 people & six million TV viewers.
More intimate performances include songwriter’s stages with iconic songwriters - Valdy, Colin Linden (of Blackie and the Rodeo Kings/Brother Where Art Thou), Emerson Drive, Brad Johner and Stephen Fearing. MYROL has performed several times in Nashville in the legendary Bluebird Cafe.
Co-songwriting credits include works with Fred Eaglesmith, Nashville’s Tim Taylor (penned hits for Jason McCoy, Duanne Steele) and good friend Gord Matthews, who also picks guitar with MYROL on a regular basis (Gord played guitar for Canadian Royalty – Ian Tyson and kd lang for several years).
MYROL headed for the Nashville studio “Ultrasound” with Canadian producer/musician/songwriter Jeff Nystrom at the helm last June. Nystorm invited his long time friend and guitar extaordinaire Jeff King (Reba McEntire’s main picker) and was on board for the whole album. MYROL’s new album is in the final stages and will be ready for release in January 2010. It will be an interesting mix because it seems to be taking the women in a new musical direction.

Listening to you (through your messages) I sure can see where a lot of Myrol music comes from. I know there is a song about the experience in your mind somewhere, and I just wonder what the song about the Big Valley tragedy will sound like.......
Yes! Definitely, here's to girl power! I bet you that you can lift more than a pen though :-) :-) You have your special strengths in your music and in your personality. Thank you for such an excellent comment. I enjoyed listening to your music. Keep up the fantastic work in your music and in life in general. Keep on moving forward. I thank you very much for such a nice comment and compliment, with personality to boot! Stop by any time. I hope that you have a wonderful day.
CountryHome Forum have more than 5,000 members. Each news you submit to CountryHome Forum will released to my weekly Newsletter with more than 50,000 readers.
Please submit your artist news and events to CountryHome Forum to help your artists to get well known better in Europe. If you do not have the time to submit your artist news and events by yourself, please send it me to: Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de and I will submit them by myself to CountryHome Forum.
I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.
I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.
Thanks
Christian
