"If adventure can flow through the veins like music through the fingers on a keyboard, Jenie Thai, born in Chiang Mai, was birthed with the call of the wild.... she managed a "lickety splickly," Tom Waits-style adventure out onto the open road... [and] one can hear the "allegro, allegro, allegro" pounding in this young woman's soul as she kicks her way through the long piano runs..." View Article

"Energetic, vibrant, talented, dynamic and diverse... Jenie Thai is all the regular words you might use to describe an amazing young musician only more so... [she] dances and jumps and sways while she sings and plays her piano... Jazz, pop, folk, blues, ballads and screamers, Jenie is well worth it no matter what you want or need in a show... look to her recordings to savour the range and depth she brings to her song writing skills. Acoustic, electric, solo, full band, coffee shop, festival stage, Jenie Thai does it all in style."

"...Jenie Thai played to an intimate and enraptured audience… She beamed ear-to-ear and danced in place behind her keyboard, playing boogie woogie and jazz tinged blues on her keyboard… delivered soulful vocals... scatted a little in between lines… I enjoyed her quirky lyrics and sense of humour, not to mention watching her dance, I was impressed with her vocal range, but more-so by her keyboard playing skill…" View Article...

THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS
Reuben and Kimberley met on kijiji when Kimberley replied to Reuben's post looking for a new project where he wouldn't be restricted musically. He wanted someone to share the lead vocals with lots of original songs and original arrangements and spanning a variety of genres. From there they started learning each others favorite songs and after about a year of jamming, the played their first show at Eddie Shortz. About 100 people came out and the show was really fun. The energy in the room that night was what really ignited the flame for The Living Daylights. So they began to audition other musicians in the hopes of putting together a real "band". Luckily they were able to find Sean Stephens who, after a month of touring the east coast with another project, decided he really wanted to be a Daylight. Also luckily, there were no shortage of friendly musician and "Honorable Daylights" to jump on stage and play along, really helping to keep the sound fresh for every show. Since then, they have played at a handful of pubs around town, a garage house concert at Reuben's parents, a wedding reception, a Chinese New Year dinner show, a backyard show, Flower Fest and more than a few living rooms around the city.
