Show Reviews

"It was a pleasure to work with Brenda. As the lead-off performer for our music festival, we couldn't have asked for more. Her singing, drumming, and inspiring words really set the mood for a very enjoyable weekend."

-- Clayton Brander,
Artictic Director, Sunshine Music Festival 2007

 

"Brenda MacIntyre, Juno Award winning singer/songwriter, had a great performance at the recently concluded 38th Niagara Annual Folk Arts Events.

The "Medicine Song Woman" brought her philosophy of empowerment to the stage as she drummed to the audience's delight.

The Mosaic Edition expresses thanks to Brenda for linking up from Toronto after her outstanding performance at the Niagara Festival. "

From Jill Hewlett's November newsletter:
"MY BEST CONCERT EXPERIENCE EVER!"

First Nations Medicine Song Woman, Brenda MacIntyre opened the concert in a friendly, down-to-earth, and intuitive way. She read the energy of the audience and delivered her powerful and heartfelt voice, choosing songs that fit the moment. So natural, and inviting! I could feel the call of our North American heritage and a deep appreciation for tradition. Brenda spoke of the importance of Blessing our water, for healing of the earth. Since we are primarily made of water, it's an opportunity for us to nourish ourselves with positive, healthful energy too. In the Native tradition, Women are in charge of the water. What an honour. We all have special talent, gifts to share and honourable responsibilities.

"Here I am with Brenda MacIntyre and her daughter. Brenda is a Juno Award winning singer (Canadian Grammies), and First Nations Medicine Song Woman. She started off our Peace Concert at Toronto University. She sang with just one drum, but her presence and her voice filled the hall. She also spoke so beautifully about the earth, and about the Spirit. Her daughter sat on the side of the stage..." more...

Brenda MacIntyre a.k.a. Medicine Song Woman is an Aboriginal singer, hand drummer, speaker, healer and artist. Dubbed the "hand drum healer" by the Native Canadian newspaper, Brenda does hand drumming and healing circles as well as a cappella and drumming performances that reach into your soul and give you goose bumps.

Based in Toronto, Brenda does healing sessions worldwide through visionary energy medicine techniques. Her fans and clients claim physical, emotional and psychological healing plus heightened spiritual connection from her performances, CDs and healing sessions.

Originally from Calgary, Brenda grew up in British Columbia until her mid-teens when both her parents died, prompting her to move to Toronto.

Her career began soon afterward with a hit on a Florida radio station and a single on a Juno award-winning CD, leading to a nomination for a Canadian Reggae Music Award.

After leaving her childhood and teen depression behind, the single mother experienced abuse and extreme poverty for several years until she discovered an Aboriginal women's healing lodge and began a remarkable personal journey to wellness.

Brenda will share her story and visionary healing tools as author of the forthcoming book Medicine Song, due for release in 2009 along with her next music album of the same name.

Brenda's diverse clientele includes the Niagara Folk Arts Festival, Bank of Montreal, University of Brandon, the Okanagan First Nation and the Salmon Arm Roots & Blues Festival in BC.

The world class singer performs and speaks across Canada and has been featured nationally on MuchMusic, APTN, OMNI, Vision and TLN.

Her latest CD Spirit Connection was released and nominated for an Aboriginal People's Choice Award in 2007 after she was named Toronto's Aboriginal Businesswoman of the Year. Brenda MacIntyre has been the #1 Canadian Artist in Neo-Soul on MySpace.com since May 2007.
