MennoJazz, yeah that's it. It's the best way I can describe what I do, the way I play. I wasn't raised Mennonite, but I'm glad I'm part of the culture. So while I am also a church musician and help lead on Sunday morning. That jazz flavor can't help but creep in there.

Dear Music Fans, I play alot of the music I have written at concerts. Most people stand around watching and claping. If you like music I think we could be good friends, because that means we would have alot in common. I've been playing and writting music all my life. So if you have any questions about my life, music or want to play some frisbee come to the show. See you there. Thanks, |

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. |

A musician first and foremost, Dan Easley composes and records songs and sound-scapes. In love with the world and everything in it, Jeremy Frey generates poems and creative nonfiction. Chad Gusler delivers short stories and sermons, often mixing both genres to expose and surpass the embedded boundaries of prose and the pulpit.

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. | |
