Rosalee Peppard Lockyer

Rosalee Peppard Lockyer is an internationally recognized, award-winning Canadian women's musical oral-historian and writer. While Rosalee has always written, for the past 20+ years, she has been a unique and scholarly artist, collecting and celebrating the authentic living voices of the women she interviews and researches. Rosalee shares, creates, and performs her spellbinding "song portraits" and musicales of our national heroines in passionate, unique and unforgettable performances. Rosalee Peppard's powerful voice, words, guitars and dulcimers entertain, educate and inspire, and her homemade humour leaves you laughing. "Peppard's music is steeped in the sea. She is bringing the rich maritime past to life in song." (Toronto Star). "Hauntingly beautiful live performance." (Halifax Chronicle Herald). Organizations such as the CBC, The March Of Dimes, Toronto's Daily Bread Food Bank, Halifax's Metro Food Bank, The Elizabeth Bishop Society, Friends Of Laura Secord, The Lucy Maud Montgomery Society of Ontario, and more have embraced Rosalee's art and commissioned and used her songs and poetry as part of their commemorations. Rosalee is the Heritage Ambassador emerita of The Helen Creighton Folklore Society. Her work is professionally endorsed by the society, as well as Titanic Society of Atlantic Canada, The Friends of Laura Secord, and the Heirs of L.M. Montgomery, Inc. whose CEO Kate Macdonald (L.M. Montgomery's Grand-daughter) said, "I listened with a lump in my throat; Rosalee has captured my famous grandmother to a T!" Rosalee has published 3 CD's of her work: No Place Like Home, Legacy and Voices; Introducing The Triple Trio oral-history trilogy; and "Rosalee Sings Maud" and "L.M. Montgomery's Toronto Walking Tour" handbooks. 'My Magic Window' is Rosalee Peppard Lockyer's first book of poetry and prose.
