1000 Islander breaks into Canadian song quest

Singer and violinist Eliza Moore is well known around the St. Lawrence River Valley for her work in bluegrass band, Althea Jean, her solo work, and her square dance playing on Grindstone Island.

Eliza lives in Montreal part-time now. She submitted one of her songs to a project the CBC is working on, the Great Canadian Song Quest. It's been posted to the top of their website! The song is called "Verdun" (named after the neighbor where she lives), it's a got soaring vocals and a sweet beat, and you can hear it here. Go Eliza!
