SUMMARY:The Good Lovelies in Victoria
URL:http://www.harbourliving.ca/event/the-good-lovelies-in-victoria/
LOCATION:Upstairs Cabaret :: # 15 Bastion Square Victoria, 
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Funny  and  upbeat,  with  just  a  pinch  of  sass,  The Good Lovelies‘  textbook  three-part  harmonies, constant instrument swapping and witty on-stage banter prove  they are not your  run-of-the-mill "all girl" band. At a time when too many of us are affected by gloom, doom and recovering from recession these  three  women  are  the  perfect  antidote.  Recently  nominated  for  the  2012 Juno for  Roots/=0D=0A=
Traditional Album of the Year and winners  of  the 2010 Juno for Roots Album of the Year, the Good Lovelies also  received  the 2009 New Emerging Artist Award  from  the Canadian Folk Music Awards.=0D=0A=

The aptly named Good Lovelies are Caroline Brooks, Kerri Ough and Sue Passmore, all of them best friends  and  refugees  from  solo  careers.  Described  as  folk-roots  and  western  swing,  the  Torontobased trio rely on unerring three-part vocal harmonies, clever songs and, onstage, convulsively funny repartee.  Their  tireless  rain  or  shine  outlook  and  undeniable  mutual  respect  have  helped  the  trio weather  years  of  constant  touring  coast  to  coast,  playing  countless  house  concerts,  festivals,  folk clubs  and coffee houses, including jaunts  to Australia,  the UK  and  the US. Lighthearted songwriting and  irresistibly  buoyant  dispositions  have  made  them  the  darlings  of  the  summer  festival  circuit, including spots at the storied Mariposa and Hillside Festivals and the Montreal Jazz Festival. To boot, =0D=0A=
the  Good  Lovelies  toured  with  the  Vinyl  Café,  performed  with  Broken  Social  Scene  and  Kathleen Edwards, and can be heard singing backup on Jill Barber's release, "Chances", as well as appearing on the PBS Special "Girls from the North Country".=0D=0A=

With Let the Rain Fall, their third full-length album, equal parts city and country, highway and home, wistfulness and sass, the Good Lovelies’ good humour and self-assurance shines through.=0D=0A=

Their sound is rooted in folk music but their close harmony style takes them naturally in the direction of  swing  music,  Andrews  Sisters  style.  They  never  get  locked  into  that  particular  sound,  however, having a freewheeling approach that has them cheerfully embrace a number of different approaches, anything  that  will  work  alongside  their  trademark  harmonies.  They  play  a  lot  of  instruments themselves and on-stage hop from one instrument to another as the set progresses. =0D=0A=

“There are some glorious bouncing lines on banjo, mandolin and double bass and then slower passages are set against some contemplative pedal steel or organ. The more downbeat moments are beautifully done - they can conjure a sweet melancholy, these girls - but the broad grins are never far away and that's what I think most folk will take from time spent with the Good Lovelies.” – John Davy, Flyinshoes Review=0D=0A=
=0D=0A=
“…über-concentrated record of superb songwriting, brilliant production, and cheeky vocals reminiscent of the doo-wop rhythm-and-blues girl groups of the early ‘50s, mixed with a little Tin Pan Alley for good measure.” - Enio Chiola, popmatters=0D=0A=
