Jack Stafford studied at the Los Angeles Conservatory of Music as well as the Conservatoire de Musique in Geneva, Switzerland.

Jack spent many years playing shows for celebrities such as Ann Murray, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, The Supremes, The Temptations, Don Rickles, Smokey Robinson, The Three Tenors, Ray Charles, and many more. His production company, Allegro Productions Ltd. has booked professional musicians for local casinos as well as touring Broadway shows such as Miss Saigon, Sound of Music, Annie Get Your Gun, Westside Story, Beatles Classical Mystery Tour, among many others. He has been a member of many small groups and big bands and has opened up for groups such as Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers.

Allen Wold, pianist, has had a brilliant career in Vancouver playing piano for show such as Evita, Bob Newhart, Don Rickles, The Supremes, etc. He was an inspiring teacher at Capilano College up until his retirement a few years ago and is a prime example of a local, Vancouver musician.

Goby Catt, bass and vocals, is a relative new comer to the Vancouver scene. Originally from Australia, Goby now resides in Vancouver. His vitality and enthusiasm emphasizes his jazz, swing style.

Review of Angela Harris Concert on April 13, 2010 at the Seymour Art Gallery

The Seymour Art Gallery presents Angela Harris with Mani Nassefat, Craig McIlveen and Eric Reed, as part of their Music Series which begins on April 13th and will be running throughout the year. The music series consists of various musical performers showcasing their talents as a fundraiser for the Seymour Art Gallery.

Angela Harris, the first performer of the Music Series, first took the stage with her mom as a harmonist and by the age of 13 she was playing the acoustic guitar. Six years later she was fronting her first band and recording her songs for radio. By the support of her community and beyond, Angela ventured to Nashville where she networked, performed, recorder, co-wrote and studied the craft of songwriting for 10 years.

To date she has released 3 albums, holds a 2006 WCMA nomination for Outstanding Roots Album for her 2nd release "Roots", and has garnered 2 charting singles and 10 BCCMA (British Columbia Country Music Association) nominations.

Socially driven, Angela is a downhome Canadian songwriter, whose delivery is acoustically and harmonically charged. Her performance style is intimate and captivating- rich with stories, messages and personality.
