Ophelia Syndrome
Ophelia Syndrome combines lyrics and piano melodies with expressive cello lines, intense drumming, funky bass, and sweetly melodic guitar riffs to weave their particular brand of music.
"Life is like music, it must be composed by ear, feeling, and instinct, not by rule." - Samuel Butler
This quote, though simple in its nature, describes the band Ophelia Syndrome's approach to their music. Ophelia Syndrome is a unique blend of piano, acoustic guitar, cello, drums, bass, and vocals. They are described as melodic pop/rock with folk influences in the veins of the singer/songwriter.

STAIRWELL LEO
STAIRWELL LEO was born of the echoed reverberations between two weathered souls, in the belly of an auspicious well. Ethereal songstress Amanda Cottreau and forefront guitarist Steve Perron create a fusion of raw/rugged acoustic alchemy. STAIRWELL LEO delivers a mulit-decade repertoire of Classic Rock, Alternative & Folk favorites blended seamlessly with their original acoustic creations.
"Amanda has an elegant relaxed demeanour that is super stage sexy and Steve has a commanding watch-me personality with a hint of a sideways smile just holding back from the soul mirth waiting to burst out."
- Mark Garland

Bad Weather
Therapeutic and refreshing, ambient melodies flirt with chaotic story lines and draw a carefree landscape. Enjoy the sounds.
Chloe Charles
A singer-songwriter, drawing from many genres - Modern Folk, Indie and Soul with hints of various ethnic inspirations, Chloe's music is sweet and painful, melancholic, inspiring and sincere. As she opens herself to her listeners Chloe tells a story of a sensitive, fragile, haunted soul always searching for understanding and her place in this strange world. This translates into an eerie, enchanting, engaging and beautifully visceral sound experience.
Frequenting Europe to visit her father, husband of Cynthia Lennon, Chloe was intrigued by the extravagance of celebrity, but solidified her appreciation for simplicity, which inspired her musically and fed into the underlying motif of her lyrics.
Chloe's ability to touch her audience - to make them tear, smile or giggle, to charm them with her authenticity, makes her audience not just her audience but also her friends.
