Scarlett Jane is one of the most exciting new collaborations in recent Canadian music — the marriage of the distinctive songs and beautifully haunting voices of Andrea Ramolo and Cindy Doire.  And now, Stranger, their debut recording, captures their strength and their vulnerability, and a progressive roots sound which embodies the raw and candid demeanor of Lucinda Williams, the moody sensuality of Stevie Nicks and Nick Cave, and the tender playfulness of Dolly Parton.

The singers’ collaborative songwriting, sultry performance style, and full band arrangements open up windows for the duo on both the indie scene and in major markets, nationally and internationally.  The duo just got back from a very successful sold out five-stop European tour and they have already showcased at a number of festivals, including the infamous Mariposa Folk Fest, Dauphin Country Fest, South Country Fair, and Eaglewood Folk Festival.  Their album also granted them the New Dragon Mine Award, two nominations for the 2012 Canadian Folk Music Awards for Best Vocal Group and Best Emerging Artist, as well as a 2012 Toronto Independent Music Nomination for Best Folk/Roots Group.

Stranger is produced and engineered by one of Canada’s most innovative producers, Stew Crookes, (Hawksley Workman, 100 Dollars, Doug Paisley, Justin Rutledge). The CD is a collection of ten alluring stories about longing and loneliness, about love, loss, and desire.
