Bruce and Judy have been performing together since 2005 and have since impressed their listeners with their original material and intuitive playing style that naturally compliments the other. The debut of their newly released CD “Saying Hello Feeling Goodbye” was just in time for their performances at the Vancouver Island Music Festival. It’s understated production testifies of the power of simplicity and captures the endearing quality of their acoustic performances. Whether the genre is contemporary folk, rock, gospel or jazz, the lyrics are heartfelt expressions and the music is a stirring collaboration of composition and arrangement.

Judy’s warm vocals and expressive nuances have made her a memorable acoustic performer. Born in Southern Alberta, and raised in Calgary, she has been making up songs for as long as she can remember, and gradually learned to articulate the more complicated landscapes of life, love and ambivalence. Her musical influences include teen favorites Carole King, and Christine McVie, however her inspirations are always found closer to home in fellow musicians, songwriters and performers.
