Ladies of the Canyon are four friends who got together in their living rooms to write and sing songs influenced by their favourite bands — The Eagles, the Band and Fleetwood Mac.

Musicians and songwriters Maia Davies (vocals, guitars, mandolin, keyboards), Senja Sargeant (vocals, guitars, mandolin), Jasmine Bleile (vocals, guitars) and Anna Ruddick (electric and upright bass, vocals) have their distinct tone and personality, but when they come together for harmonies, it’s a gorgeous, soaring blend.

Their debut full-length album, Haunted Woman (Kindling / Warner Music Canada) was produced by Colin Cripps. Through his production work, Cripps has showcased the wide range Ladies of the Canyon confidently explore; both as songwriters and vocalists. Their flexibility as artists can be heard throughout the album; from sunny pop inspired arrangements to stirring ballads to nods of vintage-Nashville. Writing from their own experiences the girls put forth a relatable and refreshing album landing them a Rising Star nomination at the 2011 Canadian Country Music Awards.
