"Having booked Angela since her Farmer’s Daughter days, and most recently with her bossa nova/samba show for Harmony Arts in August of 2024, she never disappoints. Her vocals are as strong as ever. She is always a true pro, and along with her band, delivers a captivating show. I would highly recommend any of Angela’s projects for festivals, corporate events, or private functions”
“Whether at a festival, a theatre or a corporate show it’s always so much fun to watch the audience light up when Angela sings! She is a true professional delivering the goods every single time she hits the stage. It would be hard to find someone more entertaining! Her voice is a treasure!“
Jodi Smith, Talent Coordinator (Harmony Arts Festival)

"Angela is one of the premier vocalists in Canada, with finely-tuned abilities and an impressive resumé. I have worked with Angela for many years in both recording and live music situations, and she never fails to deliver soulful, exquisitely crafted performances. She is, and will continue to be, my singer of choice for my varied musical projects. Angela’s professionalism is always matched by her wonderful ability to bring the most
out of a song lyric; I recommend her highly in every respect.”
Tom Keenlyside, Award Winning Musician & Producer
"Angela and the rest of her Band brought a full house with them on this particular night. They were a pleasure to work with and a pleasure to listen to. It was a great fit for the space, a great atmosphere and more importantly, the evening had such a positive, elegant energy. They would be welcome anytime back at Red Truck. “
