JansenSisters Trio
 

DSC_0021Driven to raise money to go to DisneyLand as elementary school kids, the JansenSisters began singing publicly on the streets of Calgary, armed with their City of Calgary Busking license and accompanied by their Dad on guitar.  

 At the age of 14, Cassidy taught herself to play guitar and the siblings ousted their Dad from the band.  In just two years,  Cassidy, Micah and Alixx have incorporated the ukulele, mandolin, cajon and most recently the upright bass into their repetoire.  

 Originally the band sang songs crafted by their parents but recently they have been penning their own songs.  They sing songs that reflect their family, faith, and friendships.  

Their most notable achievements to date are having won the $1000 Grand Prize for the 18 and Under Originals in Long and McQuade’s 2013 national Head-to-Head Music Showdown and being runner’s up for the 2014 Calgary Folk Festival Songwriting Contest in the Sonic Youth division.
