Biography

Cherelle Jardine
- She's been writing and recording since 1995 and has produced 5 CDs in that period. Winner of the "Ethel Tibbets" award (woman of distinction) for her continued work in the Arts. She's the founder and leader of The Jardines - a pop/country group currently working on their 2nd CD.
     
Scott Jackson - With his background in English Literature, specifically in Elizabethan poetry the quality of his lyrics shouldn't surprise. and they do. Scott has 2 CDs under his own name and has received extensive radio play across Canada and the USA. He is also the lead vocalist with Abandon Paris.
     
Marc Gladstone - He started playing piano at 7 years old, winning many awards and competitions by age 20. A former member of Doug and the Slugs; Nick Gilder and Sweeney Todd; he now plays with Prism, Abandon Paris (with Scott Jackson) and the Jardines (with Cherelle Jardine).
 
Collectively they are Stone Poets.
 
What began as a single songwriting session to write one song, developed into a weekly gathering of creative minds and a virtual song factory. Stone Poets have been described as "dark folk". folk perhaps, because of the instrumentation: keyboard, two acoustic guitars and rich harmony laden vocals. dark perhaps, as the subject matter in their songs ventures into dangerous waters sometimes.
 
"Trippin' on Daisies" is their 1st studio release; recorded at The Factory, in Vancouver BC with Sheldon Zaharko. A 6 song EP that showcases and introduces their unique talent.
     
Quirky and a bit different. They're prince and they're pauper; outrageous and proper. they're Stone Poets.
