In the Round: Sarah Jane Scouten Maddie Storvold & Toria Wooff

Maddie Storvold: A strong new voice in Londontown. Canadian-import Maddie Storvold has been travelling and playing music all over the world, and is now an enthusiastic member of the local music scene. Her background as a spoken word poet, and a degree in Literature and Philosophy, account for a poignant lyricism. With emotive finger picking, and a honeyed, impassioned voice, her music seeks to tell a story, and to touch a fragile part of the human spirit. Having spent the first summer of her career on tour with Vancouver-artist C.R. Avery, as well as playing stages as large as the Edmonton Folk Festival, this young artist is quickly making a name for herself.
