Castles And Canyons

Expect close harmonies over acoustic guitar from Castles And Canyons, a trio from Perth's northern suburbs. Two singers and a guitarist who sings as well give them a sound that blends indie folk with contemporary jazz vocals, soft enough to sit under dinner or a wedding ceremony, and polished enough for a corporate function. The repertoire runs through R&B and soul classics, pop, blues, indie folk and jazz standards, and they'll take personal song requests. Need a fuller sound? Keys, bass and percussion can be added. Bridget, a singer who plays several instruments, also performs with the Perth pop folk band Simone & Girlfunkle. Todd, on guitar, is a WAAPA graduate and won a WAM award in 2006. Christie studied contemporary vocals in Sydney and has sung backing vocals for Marina Prior and Alvin Slaughter. Todd and Christie both teach music in Perth schools, and the band takes private events too.
