An idea stemmed from a brief performance at the 51st Annual NS Bluegrass & Oldtime Music Festival in July 2024. Three gals had an opportunity to sing together on stage and that seed grew into a full blooming flower. Meet the Sunny Mountain Gals. Janet McGarry, the first Canadian Daughter of Bluegrass and ECBMA Female Vocalist Master brings her beautiful vocals and musicianship to the band. She currently leads the Janet McGarry Band. Janet McGarry grew up in the small rural community of Iona, PEI and music always filled her childhood home. She started performing at an early age with her father Peter and brother Raymond singing in the little country halls at benefit shows, churches and dances. Storytelling was a big part of her heritage and Janet had an affinity for songs that told a story. When Janet was introduced to bluegrass music she felt the authenticity of the music. Encouraged by fans and friends, she went on to record in the year 2000, the first of thirteen bluegrass recordings and many professional appearances and accolades.
