>sisterLune is an enthusiastic group of five women from the Niagara
>region - Jennifer Benson, Melissa Penner, Brenda  Snyder, Betsy Tauro,
>and Susannah Taylor  - who give new meaning to the words "loony tunes."
>Even as children, sisterLune were always acting out! They first met
>singing at the famous Henry the VIII Feaste at the Buttery Theatre
>Restaurant in Niagara-on-the-Lake, where they decided to pool their
>talents and become sisterLune. They have performed at various venues,
>always keeping a light-hearted sincerity about important issues
>expressed in their music. sisterLune’s repertoire includes a very upbeat
>
>comedic 50’s medley with Rockin’ Robin and an unforgettable version of
>Wyrd Sister’s Warrior, both from their CD ‘acting out’.  Audiences have
>found that their most moving performance is sisterLune's own ‘weaving’.
>Images of women waiting---for children to be born, to return from war,
>to grow up---are intertwined with questions of self-doubt---"When will I
>
>get my chance?  When will I be strong enough?"  The arrangement weaves
>the distinctive voices of the five women into a tapestry representing
>the power and fragility of women's lives.
>
>As part of their mandate, sisterLune often release their rich harmonies
>at community events, charitable and educational establishments, as well
>as political rallies and spiritual services. Inspiration, education, and
>
>motivation flow through their music and empower the members of the group
>
>as well as their audiences. The uncommon a capella style allows for
>pure, uninhibited musical expression and leads the listener to examine
>the words, the message.
