SIVLE

About

Hi Everyone --- We'd like to introduce you to our band ... SIVLE. We'd be very honoured in playing a show for you in the near future. SIVLE (Elvis spelt backwards and pronounced civil) is a versatile Soft Rock/Pop band from Brantford Ontario, Canada, belting out an arsenal of legendary cover tunes from the 50s - today as well as many Pop & Southern Rock originals. SIVLE's regular show of songs from Yesteryear and Today features a crowd-induced trip down memory lane of hits from Elvis, Lady GaGa, Miley Cyrus, Pink, Janis, CCR, the Beatles, Johnny Cash, Joan Jett, Pat Benatar, Jimi Hendrix and much well-known radio hits from the last 60 years!!! SIVLE is female-fronted by powerhouse Joan Minnery. On lead guitar and background vocals is Bill Minnery, her well-known son, who is a genuine jaw-dropping guitar virtuoso. Versatile musical genius Dan Taylor fills out the trio on guitar/vocals/drums. SIVLE has a loyal following called their SIVLEization -- a good healthy crowd of folks in their late 20s - 70s. SIVLE formed in 2017 and has had the opportunity to be the opening act for the 2019 WTFest Rock Festival and be the featured entertainment at the 2019 Mayor's Levee at the Brantford Armouries. SIVLE headlined the 2018 FIND YOUR SPIRIT FEST and the 2018 Downtown Music Fest both at Harmony Square in Brantford. They appeared at the 2022 Summer Street Festival in Woodstock. The popular band has packed rooms at the Sanderson Centre, Corktown Pub, Delhi Harvest Fest, Jeffery’s Lounge, Manny’s Place, Branch 90 Legion, Tansley's, Upper Thames Brewery, the Norfolk County Fair, the Polish Hall, Paris Street Jams, Woodstock Navy Club, Ironworks Restaurant, Frankies Tavern, the St. George Legion, the Honest Lawyer, the Woodstock Cheese Fest, and the Norwich Museum. SIVLE appears at a variety of festivals, fairs and local establishments, including a bi-monthly residency at the Duke on Park in Brantford. At the 2023 World Music Festival, the popular trio debuted their new all-original show in front of a live audience. SIVLE are recording an album -- both live and in-studio and they are IGNITED for fans to finally hear their new songs, which all three have amalgamated together to create a medley of catchy driven hooks and hum along earworm choruses. Their original set will feature songs that Joan, Bill and Dan have written independently and then arranged together as a trio while sprinkling a glitter of guitar-laden rock and pop into the finalization of 3 very unique styles. When the full band is out, legendary female musician Jamie Reinhart joins in on bass and vocals. Joan's brother Bob Minnery aka bigEZbob is also out periodically as a guest on rhythm acoustic. Bob has been instrumental in writing all of the first recordings of original tunes as well as their sister, Anne Minnery. SIVLE has two distinct shows. The first is the full 4 piece band showcase with drums, bass, guitar and vocals, which is preferred for bars, taverns, bigger stages and outdoor festivals. The other is the more scaled-down three-piece acoustic, which goes over very well, in particular for smaller stages, matinees and legions. A SIVLE show features music from Elvis, the Beatles, CCR, Pink, Lady Gaga, and Janis Joplin and includes a wide variety of hits from Today and Yesteryear. There is something for everyone.
