Made in Manitoba

Made In Manitoba's Rachel Colman is excited to release her new album, Make a Way, on Saturday, Oct. 26. 

Growing up in Altona, Man. Colman's father made sure that music was always in their home. "My father played guitar and sang in a quartet and he made sure that I knew a lot about music. I took piano lessons and I probably started singing in church when I was seven with him, and then I studied music in university," Colman says. 

After working as a music director in churches for around 20 years, she says, "That venue of music, I feel a vocation for me."

A new song has come out from a Made in Manitoba artist. 

While his parents are singers, David Bracken first broke into the music scene as a founding member of Isaiah's Answer after meeting Cal Cowison. The duo was then nominated for a Covenant Award in 2006.

The latest release for Bracken as a solo artist is 'Sufficient'. 

Made In Manitoba singer Jordan Janzen has just released a unique music video for his song "Kindness," with a twist that highlights both fan participation and community support.

Juno-award-winning Winnipeg Christian artist Steve Bell is releasing a new single ahead of his 23rd studio album, The Glad Surprise.

"Right around the time Russia invaded Ukraine, Bruce Cockburn's song, 'Lovers in a Dangerous Time,' started rolling around in my brain," says Bell. "He wrote it during the Cold War when he had a lot of fears for his daughter and her friends, what their future might be. Now, with many, many wars going on, love ends up being a miracle."

Although music has always been a part of Steinbach artist Lorne Kauenhofen's (AKA LMNK) life, his older sister was one to really cheer him on to follow his talents. 

Kauenhofen describes his sister catching him when practicing music. "I remember my older sister, she would often come around the corner and when I would catch her, I would be all embarrassed. But she would encourage me and say it sounded good."
