Ariana Gillis is the best new emerging artist anywhere, PERIOD!” – Dave Marsh, best-selling author, former music journalist for Rolling Stone & Creem magazines, and host of Sirius Radio’s Kick Out the Jams.
Ariana Gillis
Ariana Gillis is intriguing, funny, thoughtful, and writes songs about issues most people haven’t got their heads around yet—like terrorists building a bomb and falling in love at the same time, or brave soldiers returning down the highway after dying in Afghanistan, or how close she came to drowning on a carefree Florida holiday, or a funny fantasy inspired by the Life of Pi. In 2009 she was recognized as Young Performer of the Year at the Canadian Folk Awards, and in 2010 she garnered two 2010 Niagara Music Awards for Album of the Year and Top Female Vocalist. She won the Niagara Songwriting Award the previous year. She performs with her dad, David, an award-winning guitarist who also was recently nominated for a 2010 Canadian Folk Music Award for Producer of the Year.
A blast of energy and fearless confidence, Ariana Gillis sings and strums and stomps and leaves ripples behind her wherever she goes. With an impressive vocal range and a firm grasp on the craft of songwriting, Ariana is unstoppable. – Andy Frank, Roots Music Canada
Over the last few years I have had the opportunity to hear and observe Ariana Gillis perform in several varied venues — a showcase of young artists at the OCFF conference, an intimate nightclub, a folk festival workshop stage. I’ve been in this business for well over 35 years and consider myself a pretty good judge of talent…. she’s got it all!” – Wendell Ferguson
