"…fun-loving smoky vocals and excellent writing."

About Me

Canadian singer/songwriter Lenore's high energy solo performances have been attracting fans throughout the singer/songwriter scene since she began her career performing at open mics in Toronto. Her blend of folk/country/roots music creates a distinct upbeat sound but it is her unusual lyrics, so deceptively simple, that will burrow into your brain after just one listen...... "Another Life" is Lenore's 3rd CD release and features the production talents and superb guitar work of roots veteran Paul Mills (Stan Rogers, Ron Hynes) with additional support from some of Toronto's finest acoustic musicians. The result is an intimate collection of original songs that showcase Lenore's unique vocal, insightful lyrics and stylistic diversity. The CD charted on college radio in both the U.S. and Canada and has just begun receiving European airplay......Lenore has toured since the CD release and her upbeat, highly entertaining performances have garnered her fans from Toronto to Texas. She is just as comfortable playing large festival stages as she is performing small intimate house concerts......Nominated 'Female Vocalist of the Year' 2007 Durham Music Awards...
