BEST VOCAL GROUP - 2008 CANADIAN FOLK MUSIC AWARDS
.................................................................................................. We are an all-female swing-klez band, based in Toronto, Canada. We started out in 2005, with an idea to bring to life Yiddish swing, klezmer and roots music inspired by the Barry Sisters of the 1930s-40s old time radio era. Over time, our repertoire grew to include new original songs and arrangements of both traditional and jazz material. Our songs are in Yiddish and English - no Yiddish is required to enjoy!
In the past three years, we have appeared at the Washington Jewish Music Festival, Winnipeg Mameloshen Festival of Yiddish Culture, NXNE Music Festival, New York's Workmen's Circle, theToronto Downtown Jazz Festival, Distillery Jazz, Celebrate Toronto, Toronto City Roots, Winterfolk and Downsview Park festivals, the Rex Jazz Bar Hotel, Toronto Performing Arts Centre, Leah Posluns and Al Green Theatres, Lula Lounge, the Free Times Cafe, The Tranzac Club and the Gladstone Hotel. We have been interviewed on Jazz FM, CIUT, klezmerpodcast and CJTW. Our new CD "Sheynville Express", produced by Eric Stein and released in November, 2007, has been heard on CBC programs such as Roots & Wings, Music and Company, and Metro Morning, as well as on Jazz FM and numerous other world music and roots programs. The CD is available on http://cdbaby.com/cd/sistersofsheynville.
