Our History
Back in 2011, when we first formed our harmony-driven duo, we began a
journey of true friendship with a mutual passion for performing and creating music. Little did we know that our duo would work non-stop through the Spring & Summer performing around the Okanagan Valley with a growing and loving fan base. We continue to be amazed and humbled by the support of all of you! After our successful EP Release of 'Hello Hercules' (made possible by our first indiegogo campaign, which we SOLD OUT at the end of last summer) the industry accolades started pouring in. Highlights include finalists in 'Okanagan Magazine's BEST Music Of 2015', Penticton Arts Council 'BEST MUSIC' Winners 2014, CBC Searchlight TOP 25 in 2015 & CBC Searchlight TOP 10 in 2014, Top 5 Emerging Artists Music BC & K96.3 in 2013. We absolutely could not have had this success without you. Thank-you for believing in us!
The Impact
We both teach music in Penticton, BC. Aidan
runs a music school which focuses on instruction in voice, guitar,
ukulele, piano, songwriting
and musical theatre at the Aidan Mayes School of Music. Mandy teaches
music to children aged Kindergarten to Grade 5 at Wiltse and Parkway
Elementary
Schools. Their passions for the creative process and complete love of
song
continues to inspire a new generation. However, even hard-working music
teachers and musicians like Aidan Mayes & Mandy Cole
struggle to meet the demand of all the tools one needs to make a living
as an artist. What an incredible world of technology we live in, where
we can share our dreams, ask for help and allow you to decide if you are
able and willing.
In closing, if you enjoy the spirit of music and want to make a
difference in your arts community, this is truly the way. We have
carefully chosen some exciting perks for you to enjoy, if you feel
moved. This project has already employed studio musicians, producers,
music engineers, media and graphic artists, clothing designers, hair and
make-up stylists through out the Okanagan Valley and more!
