Jayne Dinsmore

Although she has sung most of her life, Jayne Dinsmore only started exploring jazz and blues after she met soundscape composer and Grrrls with Guitars member sylvi macCormac (sic) through Vancouver Adapted Music Society (VAMS) about five years ago. macCormac recorded Dinsmore's voice, introduced her to a couple of other musicians and encouraged her to perform. Dinsmore began to enjoy her newfound genre and since then has taken flight, bringing the jazz classics to life with her rare, clear voice and the help of her eponymously inspired backup band, Jayne's Gang. Dinsmore has rheumatoid arthritis left over from childhood and uses an electric wheelchair. Performing throughout the Lower mainland, Jayne steadily built a loyal following with her four-piece jazz/blues ensemble. Jayne has performed corporate engagements for organizations such as the Justice Institute, and has been featured on CBC Radio’s The Early Edition. Currently living and working in Burnaby, British Columbia, Jayne is now developing new songs for a recording project. Performing with Jayne’s Gang: Russell Sholberg on bass, Tony Williams on horns, and Larry Davids on guitar.
