ROZALIND MACPHAIL - BIOGRAPHY

Rozalind MacPhail has become one of Canada’s most unique and captivating multi-instumentalist singer-songwriters. She loops guitar, flute, voice and toy instruments into her own blend of songs and soundscapes about the people and places she has connected with.

This Toronto Island flower-child sang and danced throughout her childhood for anyone who would listen. The flute came into Rozalind's life at the age of thirteen, after her grandmother read an article about how playing the flute helped asthmatics learn how to control their breathing better.

Rozalind pursued a performance degree for flute at the University of Toronto, studying with Douglas Stewart. She then moved to Ottawa to pursue a Masters Degree in Flute Performance with Robert Cram. It was during this time that she discovered an abiding passion for improvisation. As Mystery Flute Girl, she has made spontaneous guest appearances with many celebrated indie music artists including Yo La Tengo, Great Lake Swimmers, Constantines, Lou Barlow and more. With a yen for travelling, she has attended several music schools in Canada and abroad, having become both a long-term resident at the Banff Centre and an Artist-In-Residence at The Atlantic Center for the Arts in Florida, studying with Robert Dick (NYU).

Rozalind is currently composing and arranging songs for her sophomore album as she prepares for further touring across Canada and Europe.

Hello Rozalind, thank you for adding me to your Myspace circle of friends. I really enjoyed your song samples. I love the way you breath life into your flute music. Plus, you have a very gentle, fun spirited voice. Have fun with all of you upcoming shows. John

NxEW.ca is a new Canadian music group blog. We have 60 + writers across Canada (and a few in the U.S.). We welcome anyone who wants to write about Canadian music - including musicians, promoters, managers, etc. (We're not the CBC and we exist to promote Canadian music, so conflict of interest is not an issue).
If you'd like to chip in on the blog or want to submit stuff for consideration for the podcast get in touch at northbyeastwest at gmail.com

Cheers!

Rock it out up there! I have a lot of friends there that I miss terribly. A shout out to Tracey at 5th Ave B&B, Colleen and Helen "the dancers" and the whole DTG crew!

Have fun Roz. I'm trying to get up there for the end of the summer. Maybe I'll see you then.

If you're flying into Whitehorese, then you'll miss Liard and Watson Lake, alas. However, the Takhini Hot Springs are not far from Whitehorse. :) You can also tour the SS Klondike paddlewheeler while in Whitehorse. And in Dawson, there's the Robert W Service cabin and the Pierre Berton childhood home to view as well. Enjoy the trip! It's been years since I've been up that way, and I've always wanted to go back.

Hi Rozalind,

Thanks for the add. Will you be driving the Alaska Highway up to the Yukon? Be sure to stop at the Liard Hot Springs and the Watson Lake Signpost Forest along the way. When you're in Dawson City, head on up to the Midnight Dome for a great panoramic view of the whole area.
Don't forget to pan for gold on Bonanza Creek as well!
