Those Rowdy Corinthians
"Those Rowdy Corinthians" (Sam Adams and Josh Compton) share their love for their roots, hymns, old-timey songs, and storytelling. Influenced by their Appalachian ancestors, they sing songs about trains, ships, love (lost or not), spiders, losing, running away, death, peace, pain, life, the wind, and God. They tell stories of thieves, disciples, and themselves as they explore their deep love for music and strive to keep the music of their ancestors alive.
Singing is loving.

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. |

Cantore |
| http://www.cantoremusic.com/ | |
| Cantore (which is the Latin word for "Singers") is a group of 10 men who love making music together. Music of almost any kind is fair game, as long as we think it sounds good, is fun to sing, and is acappella. The group began six years ago with four voices, and two years later added four more. Within the last year it expanded to 10, but decided not to grow any further. They sing music of many styles, including classical, sacred, German chorales, Russian Orthodox, bluegrass gospel, spirituals, folk songs, and barbershop. Most of them are members of Park View Mennonite Church, and they do many of their performances in church settings. The majority of their repertoire is religious music, but they also enjoy singing good secular folk songs and a few barbershop numbers. | |
