OPENING AXE: Bonnie McGrew and Kelsey Ngai. "A recording as sophisticated, classy and hook-filled as 'Accidental' comes along so infrequently, we almost want to go door-to-door to tell people about it. This is a brilliant record, and all the more astonishing when one considers that Opening Axe's core singer/songwriters are just 16. Only regular airplay stands between these two and stardom." MARK RHEAUME, CBC RADIO From 256 entries, OPENING AXE has just been awarded the TOP prize in the 2004 Okanagan Grown Band Competition! Bonnie and Kelsey look forward to their time in the studio with Juno award-winning producer Dave Tyson. Opening Axe released their CD entitled "Accidental" prior to Christmas and response has been overwhelming. The CD overtook big names to be the #1 selling recording in the Shuswap. Scott Ryrie, Manager of CD Plus, says he has "never seen anything like it". The Observer declared "If one were to compare their sound, you might look at Michelle Branch and her acoustic guitar-driven sound with energetic and clear vocals". The Phoenix's Endrene Shepherd wrote "All of the songs have a poetic prettiness that I believe many songwriters envy. Their guitars are fabulous...undeniably, these are two talented young women...this is a fantastic first effort." While the song "Tragedy" (written about a classmate who was killed in a drinking-driving auto accident) has received the most media attention and airplay, "Are We Alright", "Too Far In" and "Anybody But Me" are not only radio-worthy, they have sparked the interest of an A & R rep at major record labels!
