Swing Rosie

Unison is the hardest harmony.......

About Me

The year was 2002. The month was January and three girls fought their way through the blistering Canadian winter to meet up in a Toronto basement. The reason for this heroic journey you may ask- To sing and swing in three part harmony.Since then Shannon Butcher, Chantelle Wilson and Kira Callahan have performed all over Toronto. Their first gigs found them at every possible theatre fundraiser, sharing the stage with a latex clad sword swallower and opening for a singing dog named "Phish". They've since performed at leading Toronto jazz clubs, festivals and historic venues throughout Ontario.... but secretly they'll always miss Phish. Man, that dog could sing!..sweetONyou080 at CreateBlog.com .Sing Cool Swing Hot is Swing Rosie's debut CD and it's hit number 1 on jazz stations around the country. Take a look at what people have been saying-----"...this trio of vivacious young women beguile with earth angel harmonies, Ultra cool covers...boogie woogie bugle boy with a lot of swing.""
