Canadian singer/songwriter - a rare talent you will not forget. Simply put, it is her live show that will leave you stunned. Underscored by vocals that rip and soothe simultaneously, Sheenas songs make her a quiet recorder of the human condition one of the finest kind.

About Me:
 
Sheena Grobb made an unforgettable impact on the Canadian music scene in 2007 when the virtually unknown artist was nominated for Outstanding Pop Recording at the Western Canadian Music Awards for her debut EP Safe Guarded Space. That same year, Sheena was recognized by the Los Angeles Music Awards with a nomination for Female Vocalist of the Year, and she was a semi-finalist at the 4th annual Williamsburg Live Songwriters Competition in New York. CROCS Shoes took Sheena's music to an even wider American audience by adding her song Back Row to their promotional CD compilation distributed to 50,000 women across the USA. Back home, Sheena was recently nominated by the Winnipeg Folk Festival for the 2009 Winnipeg Arts Council Awards in the category of "On The Rise", and was one of ten artists chosen to be included on the 2010 Manitoba Music Compilation CD.

With her passion stemming from small town Manitoba roots, Sheena is often seen as an inspiration to others. Bootlegger's National Generation B Campaign named her the Winnipeg Representative for exceptional youth role models - perhaps because she is a strong believer in education. With two university degrees and teaching certification to her credit, Sheena has chosen to educate through her music instead of in a traditional classroom setting. Sheena's touring allows her to make numerous stops at schools, sharing her musical and life experiences along the way, and hosting songwriting workshops with youth.

Sheena has developed a voice for human rights activism. To kick off Women's History Month in October 2008, the MP Nancy Allen recognized and honoured Sheena and other female leaders in front of hundreds of Government officials, delegates, and media for their contribution and commitment to Human Rights - in particular, Women's Issues. Her song "Character" has been used in campaigns for World Aids Day and Walk For Darfur, and she wrote and performed "Head On" for the December 6th Montreal Massacre Memorial Service in support of Gender Equality. In 2009, Sheena was the keynote speaker and performer at the EYE Summit on Poverty. As a former volunteer and supporter of the University of Manitoba's Womyn's Centre and Peer Advisors, Sheena attributes her awareness of human rights issues to the time spent in these programs.

Sharing the stage with acts such as Bedouin Soundclash, The Wailin Jennys, Nathan, and Randy Bachman, Sheena has performed to crowds as large as 17 000, and as intimate as a 10 person house concert. She has taken her performance to a new level with over 250 tour dates under her belt and the recent addition of a band to her live show, showcasing top musicians in the Manitoba music scene.

After two years in and out of the studio, her follow up album "Grow" is set to be released this Spring. A labour of love, the album was co-produced by Sheena and 11-time Juno Award nominated producer Dan Donahue. The first single off the upcoming album is entitled "Getting Warmer" - a sign of things to come.
