Those Rowdy Corinthians
"Those Rowdy Corinthians" (Sam Adams and Josh Compton) share their love for their roots, hymns, old-timey songs, and storytelling.

Singing is loving. Read more here.

Bryan Moyer Suderman loves to sing, and people of all ages love to
sing along. A singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Bryan
combines his love of God and passion for the church with a fascination
for folk music traditions from around the world. Since the release of
his album "God's Love is for
everybody" in November 2002, Bryan's "songs for small and
tall" have become favourites with families and churches across
Canada and beyond, and have been used in congregations, camps, schools,
ecumenical worship services, conferences, seminary courses, Vacation
Bible School curriculum... not to mention being played and sung over and
over again in cars and homes!
Bryan lives with his wife and
son in a 150 year old farmhouse near Stouffville, Ontario (just north of
Toronto), where he says hi to sheep, cows, chickens, pigs, and a donkey
every day before eating breakfast and making music. |

Wendy Chappell-Dick |
| http://www.mennofolksonggirl.com/ |
| For Wendy, making music is thoroughly woven into relationships. Compared by
some to Kate Wolf for this combination of friendship, folk style and
heartfelt melody, Wendy chooses her songs like quilt squares, her music
partners gathered round the table for so much more than music. Her tools are
a cello, guitar, dulcimer, hymnal, and a stock of over 1000 tunes by memory.
Wendy calls herself an evangelist, an activist and an enthusiast of music
that comes from the cradle of the Mennonite church. Her music is at home at
protests, coffeehouses, living rooms, churches, woods and cabins. She is
active in all genres especially including children's, celtic, classical,
choral, a capella, historical folk, and 80s rock and roll. |
