Groanbox (formerly The Groanbox Boys), the North American trio of Michael Ward-Bergeman, Cory Seznec and Paul Clifford, are a musical hybrid of ideas and ideals. They are at first glance a roots band, soaked in the traditions of American music, with all the guts of rock and roll and all the soul of the wandering troubadour. But somewhere along the way, that troubadour turned off the road and, from the melting pot of New Orleans, began a new journey that would take the Groanbox sound to new and unexplored places.

Hailing from Bolton in the north of England, Andrea Glass is a singer-songwriter. Her style is part folk, part Americana. Her lyrics are poignant and reflective, telling tales real and imagined. Andrea’s love of music started at an early age. She began playing guitar when she was so small that she couldn’t reach the bass strings to play full chords. A brief stint playing borrowed brass instruments and keyboards ended when she rediscovered the guitar at age 14. She then committed herself to learning to play full chords and copying her favourite songs.

Diana's music is informed by the themes that have run through her life…love, loss, and redemption…bringing to mind both Emily Dickinson & Loretta Lynn in the same breath. From the mournful lament of a dance hall girl, to the stomping melodic rant of a young woman's burial instructions, each of Diana's original songs from her latest CD, My Remembrance of You, draws life from the rich cross currents of old timey, country blues and mountain music.
