QUOTES
“An only-in-Toronto amalgam that’s exciting and goosebump-inducing on many levels, not least of which is the statement they make by simply being dedicated to doing what they do: Bringing traditions into the 21st century with a newfound energy, showing that traditions evolve, and remain relevant, over time. Their sound is unique to the fertile local music scene of which they are an important part, and is one of the shining examples of the Now Sound of Toronto, created by a cohort of diverse voices and talents giving the city a voice, and a soundtrack.”
- Jonathan Campbell, Good-Kind Productions & Small World Music
“Beauty – in the voices, the look, and the sounds”
“With their spine-tingling voices and harmonies, the all-female BLISK brings ancient vocal and dance traditions of Eastern Europe into the modern world through their original compositions, storytelling, dance, and distinctive arrangements of folk music.”
