Nova Scotia’s Stars of Song

#1 Bestseller on Amazon in multiple categories

“Charlie’s decades long career in the arts gives him a unique perspective on the struggles faced by these Canadian music icons on the road to ‘making it in the business.’ As a fan of these women and of the author who writes so lovingly about them, this book is a gift, a wonderful gift!” – Bette MacDonald, Legendary Atlantic Canadian comedian, actress, and writer.

From Formac Publishing:

Best-selling music biographer Charlie Rhindress presents the lives and music of six of Nova Scotia’s most important and successful women singers: Portia White, Anne Murray, Carroll Baker, Rita MacNeil, Holly Cole and Sarah MacLachlan.

Rhindress draws on his intimate knowledge of Nova Scotia’s music and his interviews with many of the biggest figures in the Nova Scotian music scene to offer fresh insight into the lives and work of these six stars. His research includes extensive conversations with the women he profiles, as well as their families, their friends and the musicians they played with and worked alongside.

He offers powerful new insights into how each of them was shaped by and contributed to Nova Scotia’s unique musical heritage.
