Sweet Alibi http://sweetalibi.com
Western Canadian Music Award Winners, Sweet Alibi, have been captivating audiences across Canada for the past few years. The Winnipeg-based folk/pop trio infuse their signature harmonies with influences of everything from folk to country to soul, without a hint of shame. Sweet Alibi's Jess Rae Ayre, Amber Nielsen, and Michelle Anderson share personal experiences that are genuinely felt in song, and in no time, will have you dancing and singing along. Tom Power of CBC Radio 2 describes the band as simply as this: "If Mumford and Sons and the Supremes had a love child you would name it Sweet Alibi". The band, currently touring new material from their CFMA/WCMA nominated release We’ve Got To (produced by Rusty Matyas of Imaginary Cities), grabs your heart and doesn't let go!
Praise for Sweet Alibi:
Tom Power of CBC Radio 2 describes the band as simply as this: "If Mumford and Sons and the Supremes had a love child you would name it Sweet Alibi".
“Heartfelt lyrics and that intangible quality that often catapults a band into stardom. In 2012 they were nominated for best vocalist at the Canadian Folk Music Awards–future nominations (and wins) seem destined–and recently they were a featured band at the Junos.”- Chaka V., The Winehouse Mag,
“Sweet Alibi are quite an amalgam of textured harmonies and diverse sounds on this award-winning latest album. At times, traditional, and on occasion sounding like they could be playing on a pop radio station. Both of their albums are available in iTunes, in case you were wondering…” - Calgary Herald
“It's a trio of women who can just as easily channel Adele as cover Woody Guthrie.” - Amanda Putz, CBC news
“What a wonderful thing to come upon this band after listening to submission after submission of top-40 wannabees! Vocal harmonies that will stop you in your tracks, and solid musicianship from three women who really seem to have their act together.” - Candace, Secret Frequency
