HUMANITY IN MUSIC
Canadian musician's lineup for 2021
Women in Song is a trio of women: Lois O'Hanley Jones, Debbie Rivard and Patty Dunlop. We are 3 retired women from Blind River ON who, during this pandemic, realized a lifelong dream and recorded a debut album with 13 original songs. We have been together for over 20 years and have raised over $20,000 for local charities. Our debut single called, But I Knew Her When, is a song we wrote about Alzheimer’s. Patty's mom passed away from the disease and I am the primary caregiver to my mom who is in the last stages of the disease. This song has resonated with people. We write about our children, parents, and topics that people can relate to. In our sixties, we have ticked something meaningful off our bucket list. People have told us that this album, called "Life of a Woman" is an homage to women and has brought them joy!
