THE GOOD LOVELIES
The Good Lovelies are not your run-of-the-mill “all girl” band. At a time when too many of us are affected by gloom, doom and advancing recession these three women are the perfect antidote. Armed with a pile of instruments, a repertoire of sassy and sophisticated songs and an effervescent sense of humour, they never fail to charm even the toughest audiences. The aptly named Good Lovelies are Caroline Brooks, Kerri Ough and Sue Passmore, best friends and refugees from solo careers. Described as “flirty-bluegrass” and “the mischievous Andrews Sisters” the Toronto-based trio rely on unerring three-part vocal harmonies, clever songs and, onstage, convulsively funny repartee. The Good Lovelies’ first full-length self-titled CD was released in January; it contains 11 finely-crafted original songs with catchy lyrics and memorable melodies. The album borrows styles from bygone eras, while keeping the music current and relevant. Spreading sharp, light-hearted music from coast to coast is the plan for 2009. After that? Well, there’s a huge country south of Canada that could use some laughter and a dose of goodwill from their neighbours, and the Lovelies are just the women to provide it.
((( This juno winning album was recorded by none other than Adam King!!! Yeehaw )))
