Originally from Denmark, Niels Petersen has been a performing musician, producer, and song-writer since his move to Canada. He has shared the stage with such artists as Joan Armatrading, Tina Turner, Burton Cummings, Sir Cliff Richard, Trish Yearwood, and Paul Rogers, amongst others.

A prolific composer, Niels has over 100 songs and compositions in his catalogue, and has written music for CBC Radio shows, television documentaries, and short films, including a New York Freddie Award-winning film documentary, and a Bravo Channel Network art exposé of noted Canadian artist Jeremie Giles.

Connie Lebeau, originally from Winnipeg, moved to the West Coast where she teamed up with Niels and began touring from coast to coast with Canadian troubadour and Folk favourite Valdy, as well as with Shari Ulrich, Gary Fjellgaard, Roy Forbes, and Connie Caldor, and opened up for Dolly Parton. Connie also toured extensively as a singer, bass- and accordion- player with family entertainer, Raffi.
