I don't understand how all this talent from Canada like Ian Thornley, Serena, Headstones, Tea Party, etc etc are not huge it in the U.S. Wait, yes i do, we idolize image here and not real talents anymore. Thank God for Canadian music.

Great vocals, exceptional guitar, perfect sound, lush visuals. The 3 videos in the series featuring this talented lady, encapsulate the true essence and reality of good music video. A real lift for the soul. Thanks.  Steve

Simply my favourite artist right now...

@Binzalee I will have to check them out. Thx for that!!!!

@golaudydd I here ya!!! The music sucks here and I'm so glad Canada has remained true to good old rock music. I really like Danko Jones now too. Artists like Serena Ryder just get it. Sure you can here some Neil Young in her music (bit of Johnny Cash too in "Dark As The Black" imo) but she adds her own prodigous talents to her influences. In the US, on person writes a hit and people copy the formula verbatim. US pop music makes me sick.

@RhoadsLynch You're my favorite! I hate that the US has used Auto-Tune and questionable beauty over actual beauty and talent.

@sascha1352 I hate how the world media and rec companies get to choose where to release artists...like in France, for example, we get to listen on the radio only the BIG pop hits...not to mention that French music is relegated inside of its own territory, France!...the problem is that we´re being controlled by this few ppl. who own media vehicles...

[sascha1352]

Unfortunately she is Europe hardly known. I suppose she´s to good.
