notes
In the sometimes sugar-coated, self-imploded, down-loaded, blah, blah, blah of the musical world, listening to my music is like going over to your house for tea--I can relate to you how I feel about sour love, living in the bush, walking around the world, deforestation, lost hunters, and the icy claw of winter.
In my university years I was introduced to the guitar while playing and singing in a church folk group. It was at that time when I discovered coffeehouses and passionate singer/songwriters who inspired me to write my own songs.
Since that time I have lived on the south pacific island of Samoa, amongst a very musical people, where I performed my first concert. I've also busked in the streets of Australia, played under the stars in Baja, and enjoyed the excitement of having a top-forty song in Canada.
My life as a songwriter has taken many twists and turns. I now live in the Yukon with my husband and son amongst Canada's tallest mountains, grizzly bears, and the midnight sun. It's here where I am inspired by the powerful wilderness and a very vibrant Yukon musical scene.
Thanks to technology and the help of many friends, my self-titled debut recording was produced in the small community of Haines Junction near where I live. The cd includes a good mixture of what I do musically. I'm working on a new batch of tunes: from the absurdity of drilling for oil in ANWR, to the healing powers of fire. Stay tuned for more music from north of 60!

I'm am sure to be one of the few people in the world that has Brenda's bootleg tape of the Samoa songs, so it is good to follow her career. Time has strengthened her message and tone but hasn't dulled the authenticity. To me this is genuine Canadian folk, so, "World Music." Celebrity would just sanitize that, or expose another "interesting" voice from among all these competing gifts, so I don't wish that on this music. Rather, how about just keep singing!
