Sienna Dahlen

Today was a big day, where we brought all the singers from all the groups together in one room for the first time, and special guest vocalist Sienna Dahlen came by, en route from Montreal to Toronto. What a joy to have all those voices together, and to have Sienna with us for this project.

Here's more about her:

Juno award-winning performer, Sienna Dahlen (Vocal Jazz Album of the Year 2014-" Notes on Montreal" with Mike Rud), makes her living as a professional vocalist, instrumentalist, educator and composer of jazz and other styles of creative music. She has had the immense pleasure of performing her music for audiences throughout most of Europe, parts of the US, Mexico, Argentina and across Canada. Her voice is also featured on the soundtrack of the Academy Award-winning film, "The Danish Poet". (Torill Kove/Kevin Dean)

Sienna's newest album entitled, "Verglas" (Justin Time Records) is dedicated to the late, great, Lhasa de Sela. The featured rhythm section on the album includes Karl Jannuska (drums FR), Pierre Perchaud (guitar FR), Andrew Downing (cello CA) and guest guitarist, Justin Haynes (CA).

"Sienna Dahlen has made a beautifully compelling record that is soulful and unique." Ron Sexsmith, International award-winning Canadian singer/ songwriter 

“Dahlen has an extremely alluring voice, one that could sell rainwater in a snowstorm.” Pascel-Denis Lussier, All About Jazz

"...Verglas goes from the good to the great with “Carrie,” the last of its seven cuts and a stunningly memorable, rage-filled anthem against an impending death." 

Peter Goddard (Toronto Star) 4/4 stars
