While playing bass in the early 1990s with the Moncton indie group Eric's Trip, Julie Doiron began writing her own acoustic solo songs… In 1996, she moved from Nova Scotia to Montreal where she recorded her first solo album under the pseudonym Broken Girl… Loneliest in the Morning, released in 1997 under her own name, saw her develop her signature style of understated but direct minimalist pop… Since that time Julie has continued to hone that same naked, unpretentious style that made her earlier work so talked about.… With her dark, stripped-down guitar figures and quivering barely enunciated soprano, she sounds like she's singing to herself and no one else.

From The 2003 Celtic Colours International Festival we'll have a concert by fiddler David Greenberg and pianist Doug MacPhee...
Originally from Maryland, USA, David Greenberg moved to Canada in 1988 and has gained the reputation in Cape Breton music circles as being one of the few people from outside the Nova Scotia island to have achieved a fluent command of the Cape Breton music idiom.
New Waterford native Doug MacPhee has performed with all the great fiddlers of Cape Breton over the years. Although he prides himself in his ability as an accompanist, Doug is also known as Cape Breton's foremost piano soloist.
