The marriage of the distinctive songs and beautifully haunting voices of Andrea Ramolo and Cindy Doire.
www.scarlettjane.comBiography
It's
been a busy year for Toronto's female folk/noir duo Scarlett Jane.
After coming onto the scene in 2012 as one of the most exciting new
collaborations in recent Canadian music, the duo has been gracing
audiences coast to coast and over in Europe with their charm, haunting
harmonies, and distinctive songs.
Their debut album 'Stranger' granted them two Canadian Folk Music Award nominations f
or
Best Emerging Artist and Best Vocal Group among the likes of
Whitehorse, Dala, and The Once. Their song Wild Fire was featured on
CBC's Here and Now and brought them into the semi-finals for the
prestigious International Songwriting Competition world-wide. In 2013,
they were listed by Metro as one of the "7 Canadian Indie Acts You Need
To Know."
Both Andrea and Cindy are road warriors. Andrea has
two previous releases behind her, while Cindy has three - two of them in
French, which has given her a following in both French Canada and
Europe.
They met several years ago at a tiny Toronto music
venue; their solo careers were starting to move forward, and they shared
a passion for prose, poetry, theatrics and songs in minor keys. They
liked blues and country, old school soul and rock’n’roll.
The
blend of their voices stopped conversations; their musical sensibilities
interweaved seemingly without effort. Soon, they began collaborating as
songwriters, performing on each other’s shows and singing on each
other’s solo albums.
The groundwork laid in small Toronto
clubs - perfect public rehearsals as they honed their songs, their
harmonies, their band and their sound - began to pay off. Making their
first major recording was the next logical step, and now Stranger is a
reality.
Stranger is produced and engineered by one of Canada’s
most innovative producers, Stew Crookes, (Hawksley Workman, 100
Dollars, Doug Paisley, Justin Rutledge). The album is a collection of 11
alluring stories about longing and loneliness, about love, loss, and
desire including the French version of “Aching Heart” as a bonus track.
The songs came together organically over a brief two months in the fall
of 2011, with Cindy and Andrea writing together at retreats in Mexico
and northern Ontario, and in their shared apartment in downtown Toronto.
Result: A rootsy folk/noir album with enough country-edged rockin’
wailers to keep dancers moving, and gorgeous ballads and moody
set-pieces to satisfy the indie-pop fans.
The singers’
collaborative songwriting, sultry performance style, and full band
arrangements open up windows for the duo on both the indie scene and in
major markets, nationally and internationally.
Meet Scarlett Jane’s partners
Andrea: She was two records into a solo career when she joined forces
to create Scarlett Jane. She’s the queen of taking music to places you
may well have never heard of; she’s completed (and booked) four major
national tours across Canada. She’s of Italian heritage, a sweet city
woman with fire in her heart, embers in her voice, and a background that
includes school teaching (yes, she has her qualifications), acting in
films, and even tap dancing.
Cindy: She calls herself a
troubadour and a vagabond. She’s from Timmins, Northern Ontario,
bilingual, and she’s as at home in a Paris bistro as she is hitchhiking
in Cuba, busking in Spain or making her CDs in Nashville. Her voice can
whisper or roar, as the song (and the lyrics) demand. She has three solo
albums, two in French, and she’s toured regularly in French Canada and
Europe.
The past year saw Scarlett Jane opening for the
Skydiggers, Lee Harvey Osmond (Tom Wilson of Blackie and the Rodeo
Kings), Alan Doyle, and the Strumbellas, as well as joining Adam Cohen's
band with the Montreal Symphony Orchestra. The ladies travelled to
Cuba to write songs for their next album and will be showcasing many of
these new songs on this upcoming east coast tour.
Scarlett
Jane: powerful and irrefutable, musically and dynamically. From the
studio to the stage, this intriguing female duo is geared for great
things.
Scarlett Jane: In a word, ready.
