The Jardines are Cherelle and Ajaye Jardine, a mother daughter act from Richmond BC. The idea of having a new mother daughter group in the current roots country music scene is really exciting. There hasn’t been a mother daughter success story since The Judds and The Jardines plan on making a similar impact.

The Cherelle and Ajaye combination is a delicious mixture of street smarts and innocence. Their life experiences are meshed together, giving the listener an ageless body of work to fall in love with.  THe Jardines new self titled cd was released at the Olympic opening ceremonies at the Ozone in Richmond BC .  Cherelle and Ajaye are currently in the Sound Lounge in pre production for their spring release.

What the reviewers are saying about The Jardines

“The Jardines album is the first thing I would grab for driving through the Rocky Mountains with the top down. But albums like this one can be played anywhere and still evoke the wide open spaces this country so gloriously provides, no matter where your car happens to be stuck.
The Jardines, like most bands, are best enjoyed as a live act, but this album is a wonderful crossover into the studio, providing the listener with the energy, talent, and love, to be found in their live show”. Baron S Cameron

This duo is bringing you a mix of alt country/roots that is honestly quite pleasing to hear.  The two singer/songwriters are both very talented and seem to compliment each other extremely well as musicians.

I noticed interesting aspects about the two artists and that is that they have completely different qualities.  Cherelle displays a raw & refined approach with much more deep-rooted emotion when she sings.  On the other hand, Ajaye has more of a youthful spirit about her that comes across as subtle.  Ajaye’s vocals are pop-heavy & pop-friendly as she appeals to the TODAY audience.  From a music standpoint, it appears that Cherelle is taking on the assertive side as Ajaye decides to take the innocent route/without-a-care-in-the-world approach.

In the end, both individuals are meant to sing and write songs together.  They literally hit all the right notes as a team.  The pitch & tone along with the harmonies & melodies are spot on!  First The Judds and now The Jardines hit the scene with their truly genuine touch of sound.  For more on The Jardines and their exciting new release, SKOPE out www.thejardinesband.com.
