"A spine chilling talent" - The Toronto Star
Canadian Folk/Soul songstress Layah Jane is a velvet-voiced tunesmith of
tender, clever, conscientious Canadiana that seeps into the soul. Layah
is the recipient of two Ontario Independent Music Awards (Best Female
Artist 2008, and Best Folk 2007), a Toronto Independent Music Award (Best
Jazz 2006), and a CBC Galaxie Rising Star Award (2005). Backed by the
sensitive and soulful accompaniment of band-mate and lead guitarist Oliver
Johnson, Layah has played shows and festivals across North America,
including The Rochester International Jazz Fest, The Ottawa Folk Fest, New
Music West, Canadian Music Week, and The Toronto City Roots Festival.
Recommended if you'd like to hear Sade go Alt-Country, Joni Mitchell spout
Reggae, and Phoebe Snow sing you a lullabye, this is music that speaks
courageous and tender to the hungry hearts of poets, activists, and lovers
alike.
