This powerful compelling vocalist can belt out funky blues vocals and also pours the sweetest sultry tones into jazz ballads and swinging dance tunes. She is intriguing to watch live and inspiring to listen to in any medium. Born in Dartmouth Nova Scotia she has taken her music around the world via the internet and radio shows in the US, Germany, Britain, Yugoslavia, Belgium, France and the UK.
Eileen was born into musical family and was exposed to many different types of jazz, blues and classical, and broadway style music in her childhood. The R and B of the sixties and seventies certainly have left stamp in Eileen's life, also. If you listen to her music you can hear this clearly. Eileen's most recent privilege was to sing "Bluesman" at the award ceremony for Dutch Mason 's induction into the Order of Canada, at the Lt. Governors House in Halifax. Eileen Joyce has experience of many facets of the music industry, particularly in her dedicated promotion of the Atlantic Canadian Blues and other artists. She was founder and president of Blues East from 1995-98 which produced two well loved Blues festivals. Although Blues East is no longer active, Eileen co-founded the East Coast Blues Society in 2002 which shares the vision of the original group with the organizational power of an experienced board.
The newest project Bluesman a tribute was brought on by the sad death of one of Nova Scotia's favourite blues men Rick Jeffery, singer and songwriter guitarist, harpist and best known for his many years in Dutch Mason's band. Eileen wrote a song Bluesman, inspired by the life of the bluesmen she knew and, the cd was a labour of love. Eileen invited friends Joe Murphy, Dutch Mason, John Campbelljohn and George Antoniak and Charlie A'court to sing and play duets with her on her tribute to the NS bluesman. Bill Harvey also recorded his song Chocolate Blues for the cd. The cd is rounded out with wonderful songs that Eileen and Bill composed such as Every Shade of Blue an R&B soon to be classic and Why do you Look so Good , a rocking blues tune that is full of fun. Joined once again by a great band Danny Sutherland on bass, Bill Harvey on piano Scott Ferguson on drums, George Antoiniak and Garret Mason on guitar, her daughter Nicole Ouellete and Melanie Donnely on back up vocals and produced at Ferguson Music Production.
