Calgary singer-songwriter Amy Thiessen headlines the WindDown Festival for two nights. Amy is performing a solo concert (July 11), and leading a Songwriter's Circle with Toronto-based singers Angela Saini and Melanie Brulée (July 12).
With a resonant voice and a delicate but powerful approach to her acoustic guitar,
an Amy Thiessen performance is reminiscent of Joni Mitchell, Sarah Harmer or Beth Orton. A spider weaving together worlds through raw and confessional songs, Thiessen bridges the gap between folk, pop, spiritual, and something uniquely her own.
In 2009 Thiessen released her first EP Tell me and in 2011 her debut album Give up the Fight.
Along with producer Russell Broom (Jann Arden, Micheal Bernard Fizgerald) Thiessen begins recording her next full length album this fall. The disc showcases Thiessen’s revelations and songwriting in their raw yet refined entirety like Damien Rice’s 9
or Beth Orton's Central Reservation.
Woven within the lyrics are subtle personal revelations gathered on her sequestered journeys.

Singing from the womb, Angela Saini picked up the guitar at 14 and started writing songs in between teaching herself Nirvana covers. Playing in pop/rock outfit ”Supernal” that took her across the continent a few times, performing at festivals alongside bands like Evanescence and Sum 41, she garnered enough experience and road cred to move to Canada’s biggest city.
Runner-up for “Best Female Artist” in the 2010 International Acoustic Music Awards for her song Nurse Me Back to Health (Dear Diary), the debut EP ”Cake and Callouses” was released April 2012. Two cross-Canada tours and a Toronto Independent Music Award nomination later, Angela is poised to release Leap, her follow-up EP filled with songs about self-renewal, empowerment, love and life.

Folk-Cabaret performer Melanie Brulée sounds like Edith Piaf and Eartha Kitt walking down a cobblestone road in Paris in high heels while Stevie Nicks and Serena Ryder ride past on vintage bicycles. Her debut solo release, Sucré/Salé, is a 5-track EP which includes lyrics in French and in English and has been described as “quirky and inventive…with instrumentation that adds Euro flair." 2013 will see two of Melanie’s tracks on the Ladies In Waiting Ladies in Waiting collective compilation album Lovesick.
