About

 

My name is Janet Noade. I am a singer-songwriter, poet and visual artist originally from Nova Scotia, Canada, currently living in Vancouver, BC. I’m of Irish, French Acadian, Prussian, and Mi’kmaq ancestry from Unama’ki, or Cape Breton, as it is known today. I was raised in Halifax, but spent my most precious moments in a tiny Acadian town in Cape Breton with my grandmother, fishing, clam digging, and storytelling along the shores of the Atlantic. I am descended maternally from “The People of the Woods,” displaced Acadians who were fleeing political persecution and expulsion in 1755 during what has been termed “Le Grand Dérangement.” On the paternal side, I come from a line of Seventh Son Irish hereditary healers and I am a dream-seer. A Capricorn (West) a Dragon (East), I love ghosts, swimming in the sea, the woods, dancing and snow.
