Named 'Vocalist of the Year' at the Vancouver Island Music Awards and nominated for 'Best Live Act' for 2 years consecutively, Brodie Lee Dawson is a force to be reckoned with.

It’s her voice that jumps out at you…as soon as she sings her first note you're hooked. It's rich and riveting, pure and powerful, and full of soul. You’ll find yourself in whether or not you wanted to be - and you might as well not look back, and just hold on for the ride..

Brodie calls her style a mix of 'soulful bluesy folk' with a gospel funk, a twist of pop and a twang of old-school country. True to all those genres she sings of life, love, searching and finding your way. And finding her way, she has… She's been turning heads and creating a buzz wherever she goes, leaving her audiences spellbound, full-hearted and smilin'.

Born and raised in the southeastern States, Ashley Sykes is a singer/songwriter who currently lives on beautiful Vancouver Island. She brings her southern gospel roots from the state of Georgia and blends them with the west coast themes of her current life on the Strait of Georgia. She is often described as peaceful and she writes songs that soothe the soul.

In the Spring of 2018, she released her first studio album, Dissonance, which she produced with Corwin Fox of Hidden Well Studios in Cumberland, BC. She loves collaborating with other artists and when she’s not taking the lead, she’s happy to add her harmonies, strings, and rhythms to support her many talented friends.

Ashley’s three favourite words are connection, collaboration, and nurture. She is a mother of four and her mothering heart extends to her community. She grew up in the land of big front porches, and still has a “come sit on my front porch” kind of heart.

The name Innisfree is in a short poem by Yeats describing his dream of a peaceful place in Nature while he is stuck in the city. William Butler Yeats (1865-1939), an Irish poet, dramatist and prose writer, one of the greatest English-language poets of the 20th century received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1923.

The Lake Isle of Innisfree

I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,

And a small cabin build there of clay and wattles made:

Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honeybee,

And live alone in the bee-loud glade.

And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,

Dropping from the veils of morning to where the cricket sings;

There midnight's all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,

And evening full of the linnet's wings.

I will arise and go now, for always night and day

I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;

While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,

I hear it in the deep heart's core.
