Heard of her but i can't say she's very present on the Montreal scene, she did one "highly" publicized gig here with Nash and Washington which i unfortunately missed, so i never had the pleasure to listen to her yet. So, i really can't comment on her playing, except repeating what has been said of her. Basically, she works well within her confort zone. Her mentor is Kenny Baron.
Regarding the second post, well it is pronounced something like Gahn-nyeah like the former relief pitcher.
