talented musicians, will play in concert in Teeswater next

area native and Tom McLean of Goderich form the band
and the concert is "about getting people to know Us,"

quite a while.
Arkell is a vocalist and plays guitar. Murray has a
classical keyboard background and plays guitar, while
the classically trained McLean plays mostly violin and
some guitar.

vocals. 'and.. we're .really heavy on intricate' vocal har-
monies," explains
ar-monies,"."explains Arkell. "We do an interesting mixture
of all kinds of musical styles. - 70s to, 90s cover -tunes,. soft
rock, blues,folk, country - just songs that we happen to
like, and that are crowd favorites:'
All three are song writers and they perform a lot of
their own material. . a .
Arkell and. McLean recorded one of her pieces on the
"Songs to Shelter" album that was a project to raise
money, for 'the women's shelters in Owen Sound area.
