Poem de Terre
Poem de Terre performs original, eclectic folk music and spoken
word performance based on the words of Canadian poet Bob MacKenzie and
music by a variety of composers.
While the style of Poem de Terre's material crosses all
genres, at heart the music is folk. Building on this
foundation of folk music since 1993, Poem de Terre draws on
many influences to create music for the new millenium. As much
as the music, words are central to Poem de Terre's work,
bringing stories and ideas to the community as live
performance.

Description:
"Assume Nothing is a project that has produced dazzling results. A balanced combination of spoken word and singing from different vocalists, this album is hard to turn off midway. ... "Pyramid" touches on more serious subject matter than other songs on Assume Nothing, revealing to a fuller extent MacKenzie’s astounding talent as a writer. ... Although this album is entitled "Assume Nothing", it would be safe to assume one thing: this is a CD not to be missed." canEHdian.com.
Performing on this eclectic release are fingerstyle guitarist Jim Graham, Celtic folk musician Cynthia Gibson, singer Lesleigh Smith (finalist in the Kingston Exhibition 1999 Country Singing Showdown), singer
Melanie Vancoughnett, guitarist/singers Alex Young and Steve Gillen, and
spoken-word artist Bob MacKenzie. Newfoundland singer-songwriter Justin Brake added his skills as post-production engineer. The dramatic cover art
(the original measures 4.5 by 6 feet) is by Canadian painter Richard
Gold. Assume Nothing also features an extensive cd-rom section packed with information on the music and artists, plus a full length crime-fiction novel
to read on the computer or print out.
