SHARI ULRICH
I've been incredibly fortunate on this road. I've released lots of albums (21) and been in lots of trios (3) with remarkably talented, handsome and wonderful men - Rick Scott & Joe Mock of The Pied Pumkin, Bill Henderson & Roy Forbes in UHF, Barney Bentall & Tom Taylor in BTU, and of course a gaggle of them in The Hometown Band and now The High Bar Gang. Lucky, lucky girl. | TILLER'S FOLLY
For over twenty years, Tiller’s Folly has been uniting past with the present as modern-day storytellers of lore, singing the West’s pioneer history to life. From the outset, the band aspired to create acoustic music that is thoughtful, progressive, yet timeless in nature. Music that represents their Pacific Coastal home. They set out to preserve a measure of the West’s colonial heritage in stories & songs. | TONYE AGANABAS
Tonye now has a new career trajectory. One that involves connecting deeper with her audience and that sees her creating a new community for herself. She's not only interested in taking her music to the traditional venues but into schools, community centres, hospitals and generally places where her music can heal, connect and make a difference. |
