"Babe's voice is as appealing as her name is unique." - Canada AM

Born on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Babe spent many years on the move with her family living on various Air Force Bases throughout Canada and Germany. Her love of music began at a very young age but it wasn't until age 25 that she joined her first band and never looked back! Playing in a variety of bands ranging from pop/rock, jazz and R&B over the years in Canada and London, England, Babe honed her craft, but it wasn't until she studied the jazz/commercial music program at a Vancouver College, when she began writing her own music.

One of the best-selling Indie recording artists around, Babe's music has been described as honest, rootsy and real, fitting powerful stories to thoughtful music with craftswomanlike precision. Experiencing Babe's engaging personality in concert is a treat, and discovering her playful and keen sense of humour is always a delight. The Vancouver based singer, songwriter and guitarist has drawn comparisons to such diverse talents as Bonnie Raitt, Lucinda Williams, Shawn Colvin and Sheryl Crow but this is one diamond who shines with her own kind of light - always managing to retain her own unique acoustic roots sound and style.

Keeping with the tradition of Babe's previous discs, her latest collection of songs on her new CD Chocolate Lilly feature a powerful yet sensitive singer, with material to match. The Spring/2008 release has a fresh, yet familiar sound and will take the listener to many places. Babe's warm but powerful voice is beautifully showcased with the stripped down sounds on this album which is a unique blend of roots, pop and blues.

Chocolate Lilly features a wide array of some of Vancouver's most talented musicians including Steve Dawson, Rob Becker, Elliot Polsky, Rick Hopkins, Nick Apivor, Ian Cameron and Geoff Gibbons along with her core band members; Lisa Simons (stand up bass), Tom Neville (violin) and Lee Worden (guitar/dobro). All of the songs on the CD were penned by Babe Gurr with the exception of her roots-based version of the Ray Charles cover Unchain My Heart.

Babe has been the support act for various artists throughout the past years, including Amanda Marshall, Amy Sky, Colin Hay (from Men at Work), J. Gaines & The Soul Attorneys, Luka Bloom, Barney Bentall and Grapes of Wrath and has headlined at numerous festivals including Toronto's Harbourfont Music Series, Victoria Folkfest, First Night, Mission Folk Music Festival, Vancouver Island Musicfest, Salmon Arm Roots & Blues Music Festival, Filberg Festival and Islands Folk Festival. Her tunes have been licensed for various shows including the U.S. FOX series "Higher Ground" which has brought her music to audiences worldwide. Babe appeared on the television show "Big Sound" as an actress, playing an avant-garde lounge singer and has been a guest on many national shows such as Canada AM and The Jim Byrnes Show.

Playing some of the most popular and prestigious concert halls in Canada spanning from Vancouver Island to The Maritimes and U.S. dates in New York and Seattle, Babe Gurr's name is becoming familiar to many more fans each day, people who appreciate finely crafted songs performed with sincerity.
