SIVLE (Elvis spelt backwards and pronounced civil) is a versatile Rock and Roll band from Brantford Ontario, Canada, belting out an arsenal of legendary cover tunes from the 50s - today as well as many originals.  SIVLE's regular show of songs from Yesteryear and Today features a crowd-induced trip down memory lane of hits from Elvis, Lady GaGa, Miley Cyrus, Pink, Janis, CCR, the Beatles, Johnny Cash, Joan Jett, Pat Benatar, Jimi Hendrix and much well-known radio hits from the last 60 years!!!

The eclectic and diversified trio is female-fronted by powerhouse Joan Minnery. On lead guitar/vocals is Bill Minnery, and Dan Taylor fills out the trio on guitar/vocals/drums. SIVLE also has a 4-piece full band unit.  SIVLE has an active loyal following called their SIVLEization.

SIVLE was formed in 2017 with opportunities that include being the opening act for the 2019 WTFest Rock Festival, featured entertainment at the 2019 Brantford Mayor's Levee and headlining both the Find Your Spirit Fest & Downtown Music Fest in 2018. SIVLE also appeared at the 2022 Summer Street Festival in Woodstock. The popular band has packed rooms across Ontario and most notably they were featured at the 2023 World Music Festival in Mississauga. 

Their brand-new album "Bless This House" features seven (7) original tunes all written by members of the band.  The songs highlight Joan Minnery on lead/backup vocals, Bill Minnery on lead vocals and guitar/bass and Dan Taylor on lead/backup vocals as well as guitar/bass and keys.  Bob Minnery -- bigEZbob appears on banjo on Bless This House.

The uniqueness of the album -- Bless This House is that it features several vocal tracks from the two guys in the band, as most of Sivle's work has always been with Joan as the lead vocalist.  

Bill's songs "Epiphany" and I Can't Find My Way" reflect his guitar virtuosity in Progressive Rock/Blues, Dan's songs "Looking at You" and "Feels Like Home" lean towards Soft Rock with likeable hooks, while Joan remains true to her roots with Country Rock in the title track "Bless This House" about her father and her autobiographical "I'm Not Giving Up This Mic. Then the band veers off in an old school Psychedelic Pop anthem in "Sing IT Like Pearl." 

Their albums feature songs that Joan, Bill and Dan have written independently and then arranged together as a trio while sprinkling a glitter of guitar-laden rock and pop into the finalization of 3 very unique styles.  

Sivle's new album was recorded in the fall of 2023 and produced in Brantford Ontario Canada by Tyler Wilson -- who also appears as a supporting musician on several tracks

Band History: 

SIVLE was formed in 2017 and has had the opportunity to be the opening act for the 2019 WTFest Rock Festival and be the featured entertainment at the 2019 Mayor's Levee at the Brantford Armouries. SIVLE headlined the 2018 FIND YOUR SPIRIT FEST and the 2018 Downtown Music Fest both at Harmony Square in Brantford. They appeared at the 2022 Summer Street Festival in Woodstock.

The popular band has packed rooms at the Sanderson Centre, Corktown Pub, Delhi Harvest Fest, Jeffery’s Lounge, Manny’s Place, Branch 90 Legion, Tansley's, Upper Thames Brewery, the Norfolk County Fair, the Polish Hall, Paris Street Jams, Woodstock Navy Club, Ironworks Restaurant, Frankies Tavern, the St. George Legion, the Honest Lawyer, the Woodstock Cheese Fest, and the Norwich Museum. SIVLE appears at a variety of festivals, fairs and local establishments, including a bi-monthly residency at the Duke on Park in Brantford.

At the 2023 World Music Festival, the popular trio debuted their new all-original show in front of a live audience. Their original set features songs that Joan, Bill and Dan have written independently and then arranged together as a trio while sprinkling a glitter of guitar-laden rock and pop into the finalization of 3 very unique styles.

When the full band is out, legendary female musician Jamie Reinhart joins in on bass and vocals. Joan's brother Bob Minnery aka bigEZbob is also out periodically as a guest on rhythm acoustic. Bob has been instrumental in writing all of the first recordings of original tunes as well as their sister, Anne Minnery.

SIVLE has two distinct shows. The first is the full-piece band showcase with drums, bass, guitar and vocals, which is preferred for bars, taverns, bigger stages and outdoor festivals. The other is the more scaled-down three-piece acoustic, which goes over very well, in particular for smaller stages, matinees and legions. A SIVLE show features music from Elvis, the Beatles, CCR, Pink, Lady Gaga, and Janis Joplin and includes a wide variety of hits from Today and Yesteryear. There is something for everyone.

"We are overwhelmingly gobsmacked with the release of our new album - which we released in November 2023. We are currently in rotation in Germany, the U.K., Australia, the U.S., and Canada. Holy frijoles what a firestorm. Our original tunes have also been on both the 2022 and 2023 Brantford Trail Mix CD. We never saw this coming; we used to be just a 'cover' band. More is coming in 2024."

We look forward to hearing from you and playing for you very soon

Musically Yours,
Joan Minnery & SIVLE

Fan Quotes: 

"As always -- SIVLE is a must see live! You can't see the energy this band gives off until you see them live. They connect with their fans and our energy feeds their energy.  If you only see their show once, you have to return to a number of shows to witness the change from show to show, it’s an absolute delight! While contemplating SIVLE, I couldn’t help but think of the Grateful Dead who were one of the early pioneers of direct relationships with their live show fans and renown for fusing many different styles together. SIVLE is the Grateful ALIVE.” ~ Ken Shipman, Brantford ON

 “The standard of musicianship was fantastic, unleashing their full charge of extraordinary talent. Their fiery performance hit the audience roaring with committed versions of songs people wanted to hear. Transformed in time, this band captivated the swaying crowd with their exuberant enthusiasm, explosive energy & vocals that propelled the show to epic levels." ~ Anna Fornella, Brantford ON
