Sioux Newberry has been surprising audiences since she first cut her teeth as a hip-hop artist while attending University in Guelph, Ontario. Spending sleepless nights spitting, cussing and harmonizing her way through performances with prominent DJs in the Toronto area, she learned to find solace in the charms of folk songwriting and classical vocal training. "In fact," says this small-town darling, "I have always seen hip-hop as a tool for learning to write better folk music." Today, where the styles of jazz, country, folk-rock, hip-hop and accapella foot stomp meet, Sioux emerges as a student of reflection, offering songs and stories that consistently demand that her listeners look both inward and outward.
David Newberry has rock and roll in his heart, but somewhere along the way he found that folks like Woody Guthrie, Gram Parsons and Townes Van Zandt could craft a song and a story like no others. The result is a unique singer/songwriter with a collection of folk songs played by someone who learned his trade in the world of punk. Sweet country songs full of hardship and hope that are sung with the world weary tinge of alt-rock and whiskey. With each performance, David blends the energy and politics of punk rock with the storytelling and lyricism of American roots music.
Together, Sioux and David offer support on each other's solo material, and present a batch of new songs co-written especially for this project. Their music reflects the realities of everyday life in Canada - highlighting 'the regular' in an extraordinary way. It also talks a lot about trains and boats.
While they are extraordinarily different musicians, their unique styles compliment each other, both picking up where the other leaves off. You'll find their common ground to be both eclectic and coherent, and most of all, realistic and reminiscent of home.

good to hear from you...recording is great...so much pizazz!..i am doing shows on my own as we record, violet lyal is re-grouping. your cd is also good, friendly...the only thing that sucks in my life is the possibility of having to work a crap-tacular job again...i've been home doing the best things in life...my dog doesn't want me to go back to work...i wish her desire would hunt and kill bills as i sleep...
the posters look more great live, there is another one with a cow, why not. looking forward to seeing you tonight...it's been about 3 years ? last time you had a yoga thing at hillside? my brother may also be there but thankfully as a guest, he's really smokin' at 'rock band' but we don't play hard enough for him to shine in real space.
yes i will. Im sorry it took me along time. i dont really run the myspace thing. but when you wrote it on the wall i saw it. I'd love to play. Cest what is great. I havent played there in a few years but i loved it. I'd love to play with you guys. thanks for asking. talk soon
