Summary of a Few Fan Comments:
I loved August's demo CD. My favorite is Into the Dreamin. What a talented and fun group of inspiring women. Their music makes me want to dance and I love dancing! – Sheryl Fitzharris
"I thought your show 'Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda' was the best concert I've presented, you guys rock! " – Ian Forsyth, Managing Director, Shadbolt Centre of the Arts
"I've just come from the first night of the World Kindness concert. You guys were fabulous! I'll be keeping an eye out for future concerts, and this time I'll bring my friends." - Heather Maclaren
"Who da....are these women? was the first question that entered my mind when I came to see this concert. I found out that these are four independent recording artists who decided to come together after years of solo careers. They're funny and entertaining. They sing all kinds of songs: folk songs, country songs, songs that reminded me of Joan Baez and those hippy years. Even songs acapella style… really funny… they got the audience howling…. The hour and a half concert (with an intermission in-between) was a delightful and entertaining one." – Ed Farolan, Vancouver Review
"Everyone enjoyed your amazing, beautiful music… I was indeed happy with the energy of the room that evening." – Jaime Kowal, Photographer & Publisher (Jaime hired 'August' for her book launch)
"Hi Rae… Awesome energy and I loved your music at the Kind Acts concert last night - it was beautiful…. May you and August continue to spread your Love thru your music -- it is powerful and is extremely evident when you perform. Others felt your powerful message too, since you were sold out of CD's at the show. Brilliant!" - Cathy Clark
"Fantastic!! I am so happy to know I can still get a hold of your music.... please do send one…Tuesday night, I was supposed to be at a business meeting in the west End, but had plans to go to Kind Acts instead. Sure glad I did. May you and August continue to spread your Love thru your music-- it is powerful and is extremely evident when you perform. Others felt your powerful message too, since you were sold out of CD's at the Show. Brilliant!" – CC, Vancouver
"(Meg Tennant) was the more lyrical one, singing of Buddy who coulda've been her husband as she sang of his footsteps in the beach returning to hopefully give her the diamond ring." - Ed Farolan
"I’ve known Beverley Elliott since the ‘80s when she first amazed me at how easily she combined a music and acting career... She, Armour and Tennant got together because, in spite of their day jobs – Rae is a realtor, Tennant (handles gold claims) – they couldn’t let go of the music." - John McLaughlin, The Province columnist
