This article was 'speedily deleted' a few hours after I put it up. I find it interesting that an editor in Britain is ostentibly more in tune with the notability of Canadian musicians than someone living here who can listen to the radio.

I'll beef it up when I get the chance and repost.

Colleen Brown is a Canadian singer from Edmonton, Alberta. Shew grew up in Lloydminster. Upon moving to Edmonton, she studied music at Grant MacEwan College in the Vocal Performance Program. Her various projects since graduating include singing and dancing in the now defunct decade show revue the Kit Kat Club ,and playing bass and singing in her all female original rock band the Secretaries.

In 2004, she released her first all-original full-length album "A Peculiar Thing" which was self-funded.

Her second album, "Foot In Heart", was released in 2008. It became the number 2 Folk/Roots/Blues album in Canada on !earshot (the Canadian national college/community radio chart) and spent 6 weeks in the top 10.

As well as a skilled pianist, Colleen has branched out to embrace other instruments in her performances, notably the upright bass. She credits this and working with her backing band as helping her to develop and refine her songwriting abilities.
