Being on the road, broken hearts, life's beautiful and sometimes harsh moments, my flower child years with my hippy parents on Toronto Island, flutin' with musicians in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Seattle, Victoria, St. John's, Calgary, Edmonton, Dawson City, Banff and Ottawa, summer hikes in the Gatineaus, the Canadian Rockies and Vancouver Island...hanging out in BC and Pacific Northwest USA, many fun-filled nights at Ottawa's Cafe Nostalgica, Newfoundland's lively and energetic vibe and all those inspiring late night jams with too many gifted singer-songwriters to name.

"A kalleidascopic salad by trance inducing heart a flutter futuristic flutist, Rozalind MacPhail" Don Pickles, Wavelength curator

Erella Ganon, writer
"Hypnotic beauty. What comes through strong and clear is her sincerity and musicianship." Pat Carrabre, CBC Radio 2
“Rozalind MacPhail, St. John’s troubadour flutist, most beautiful flute on both coasts.”
Wavelength curator, Doc Pickles
Rozalind MacPhail has become one of Canada’s most unique and captivating multi-instumentalist singer-songwriters. She effortlessly 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 in an environment that nurtured that. 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. In fact, it did.
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. As Mystery Flute Girl, she has made spontaneous guest appearances with celebrated indie music artists including Yo La Tengo, Great Lake Swimmers, Constantines, Lou Barlow and many others. With a yen for travelling, she has acquired fans from the most surprising places 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).
In April 2009, Rozalind was invited to the prestigious Dawson City International Short Film Festival where she was an Artist-in-Residence, composing and performing original works in cooperation with Victoria filmmaker Scott Amos. Flexible and intuitive, she collaborates with experimental filmmakers and artists of all sorts.
Rozalind is currently composing and arranging songs for her second album in St. John’s, Newfoundland as she prepares for further tours across Canada and the rest of the world.

Great show tonight at The Apollo in Thunder Bay! I hadn't heard you live before; thanks for the entertainment. Congrats on the success of your recent cd and all the best in the future! Diana
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
