Upside Blue is:

Cyndi Kennedy: From the age of 16, with her acting debut as a host of "You Can't Do That on Television", performing has always been Cyndi's favourite pastime. She vividly recalls feeling the passion of Jazz Blues at age 8 - and knowing it was in her blood. Cyndi has since sung Bluegrass, Blues and Jazz, played several different instruments and written original songs. For her, it has always been about feel for the history, culture and passion of the music. Cyndi is a also a member of the Capital Vox Jazz Choir.

Rick Woyiwada: When most kids his age in his Manitoba hometown were earning their spending money delivering newspapers, a 14-year-old Rick, with his classical piano training, was already paying his dues playing keyboards in established Rhythm and Blues bands. He later branched out into composing and recording. Now, even after a few decades and diversions (like music school, radio, and law school) his passion for performing has not waned - he expresses his knowledge and experience of a wide variety of musical genres through the innovative keyboard stylings he brings to Upside Blue.

Ivan Matte: Ivan believes it inevitable, as a result of the influence of his extended talented family, that music would be a constant and important part of his life. Throughout the 60's, 70's and 80's Ivan was primarily a guitar player in various local rock, blues and country bands including the much beloved Beatles spirit band, "The Shooz". In the early 1990's he switched to bass, initially electric, then acoustic followed by acoustic upright. Over the last ten years he has focused primarily on playing within various jazz combos.
