TANGLEFOOT is a band whose members proudly wear their Canadian hearts on their sleeves. Al Parrish, Sandra Swannell, Terry Young, Steve Ritchie and Rob Ritchie demonstrate exquisite vocal polish and relentless energy, and cap that off with substantial instrumental agility and impressive song writing chops. Their monumental a capella song “Vimy” (The Music in the Wood, 1996) led to their taking part in the dedication of the restored memorial at Vimy, France on April 9, 2007. Today, their label-defying sound and vigorous approach are the result of five distinctly talented individuals working as a true collective, and both the sound and the vision have endured several changes in personnel since the first collaboration in 1988. Tanglefoot enjoys the unusual claim-to-fame of having had one of their eight CDs fly aboard the space shuttle. The Music In The Wood accompanied Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield into orbit aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavor in April of 2001. www.tanglefootmusic.com
