Graham Guest
Making his home in Edmonton since early boyhood, Graham Guest has spent nearly all of his thirty-one years playing music. A keyboard player since toddlerdom, Graham has continued to develop his musical sensibilities in the arenas of singing, songwriting, arranging, and band leading, as well as by gratifying his enthusiasm for learning to play a multitude of instruments. In addition to his own projects, Graham has travelled internationally with roots music luminaries of all stripes, performing and/or recording with artists ranging from Lazy Lester to the Rockin' Highliners, from the Swiftys to Billy Boy Arnold, all the while holding down the keyboard chair in the band of Juno award winner Sue Foley. Look for Graham's distinctive voice, expressive keyboards, and burgeoning songwriting skills to come to the fore on the upcoming blues-tinged release from his project with actor / musician Raoul Bhaneja, due out in mid-2005.

The strength and personality of Terra Hazelton’s voice is something most singers can only aspire to, but she makes it seem effortless. To see her perform live is to witness the energy and drive of a natural talent with a whole lot of sass! Her tunes are great, her band is excellent, and the fun just doesn't stop! Her latest CD, Anybody’s Baby, on Jeff Healy’s Healy-o-phonic label, features swing, traditional jazz and blues. With juicy jazzy covers and originals, each tune brings a new slant.
