What People Are SayingHere's a sample of the reaction and support Stephanie has received from around the world in response to the release of her award-winning debut cd Family...
"I've really been enjoying your CD! It's hard to pick a favourite song/piece...there are quite a few I really love: "Ern's Waltz," "I Feel the Winds of God," etc. I hadn't heard "I Feel..." before you played it on Sunday! It's so beautful! I've really come to love Maritime music ever since I moved here, and it's even more of a blessing to hear Christian themes reflected within such beautiful tunes. I have great respect for all the local talent I'm seeing within Maritime culture - and you're one of them! (Charlottetown, PEI) ..................................................................................................... "I was overwhelmed with joy to see the fiddle used in Worship... I have been searching for Celtic/Maritime style of Worship since the Revival in Belfast CD came out... I desire to see more Celtic/Maritime style music in the church." (Summerside, PEI) ..................................................................................................... “Just letting you know that your CD arrived.
It sounds GREAT! You did a beautiful job on it! CONGRATS!!!!! It is nice to hear
a sound from home!!!!!!!!!!!” ( ..................................................................................................... "I got your CD as soon as it was released!
It is wonderful." ( ..................................................................................................... "I've played people your CD in both England
and ..................................................................................................... “I may need to order another CD, I’ve almost worn out the first one.” (Long Reach, NB) ..................................................................................................... “I actually got an email from the U.K. from a friend there who knows Stephanie’s music and he raved about her new cd and said he wished he could be here. That’s pretty cool.” - Pastor Brian Metzger (Charlottetown Community Church) ..................................................................................................... “I just received Stephanie’s CD this past week, and I am very excited about what she has released in this music. In May of 2004, we were so blessed to have Stephanie with us for our "Heart of a Servant Worship Gathering" here at Living Waters. She accompanied our worship team with her awesome giftings on the violin/fiddle, and shared her song "Ceilidh" with us...WOW! There was such a release of joy and excitement in the Lord’s presence as we celebrated together the beautiful expressions of music which unite us culturally here in Atlantic Canada, and we know that it’s a unique "sound" currently rising up among God’s people as a call to the unity of our faith and a call for revival, restoration, and harvest. I believe what is being released here in this music prophetically has been quickened by the Spirit of the Lord and this is the day...NOW is the time for leaders, worshippers and intercessors, and believers alike to walk together to see God’s corporate purposes released over our nation, region by region. I highly recommend this CD to anyone who is hungry to see God’s kingdom purposes released in the arts, and to the Body of Christ in general. It is a real encouragement to me personally as a prophetic musician and worship leader to join with Stephanie and others who are embracing the timing of God for His music in us to be released! Congratulations, Stephanie, on a job done with excellence and true anointing!” Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!] (Clara Whalen - Springdale, ..................................................................................................... "I enjoyed [Family] very much. The production is warm, like it was recorded in someone's living room. The instrumentation is heartfelt and vocals are very clear and talented. There [are] some elements of fusion between styles which I enjoy and it breaks up the sound to give it something more. The electronic elements still sound earthy enough to flow right into the music seamlessly... Overall I [think] it [is] great. I would like to carry this CD in my store. I will promote it and I believe it will sell well." - Jacob Flikkema - Salem Storehouse Bookstore, Ottawa ..................................................................................................... “The “opening act" was awesome as Stephanie Mainville came...playing the fiddle and singing prophetically a song over the Maritimes...when she stepped onto the platform? My, my, my...the song, the atmosphere in the room was electrifying...as the dancers came springing down the aisles. I was standing back stage thanking the Lord continually." - 2005 Mercy Awards ..................................................................................................... "It blew the socks off me!!!." - New Brunswick Gospel Music Hall of Fame board member reacting to The Maritime Song at the 2005 Mercy Awards ..................................................................................................... “We are out here in Calgary, ..................................................................................................... "Listening to your CD has really helped me
get in touch and feel and understand my family ancestral history." ( ..................................................................................................... "Wow! what an amazing time and life this CD has had and continues to have for you! I really am blessed that Graham and I were able to play on "a couple" of songs and that we had "enough time" to do so... I couldn't be more proud to have been able to contribute what little I could to your music and this CD! Thank-you for the opportunity and bless you with all to come!!! - Peter Davyduck (bass guitarist) ..................................................................................................... “I think your CD is amazing. You did a great job with it. Every one here at St. FX University loves it. All my friends would like to buy a copy. I know that the people here would love your passionate worship music. Thank you for making feel like part of your family with this CD. It’s amazing!” (Antigonish, NS)..................................................................................................... Just returned from Moncton and listed to Stephanie's new CD on the way. It is great! She's now on my IPod! [I'm] looking forward to hearing her in person..." (Grand Bay, New Brunswick) ..................................................................................................... “I
have to admit that I am a bit biased toward this recording project. I have been
encouraging Stephanie in doing this for over a year now. I am happy to announce
however that it has exceeded all my expectations in terms of creativity,
variety, musical excellence. The song that is my particular favourite was not
one that I had originally felt so strongly about. It is the song “Can't
Wait”. It includes some amazing saxophone work by Martin Davidson and a
backing vocal styling from ..................................................................................................... “It is exciting to see how God has grown you up and used your gifts to be a blessing to Him and to the nations!” (Lithuania) ..................................................................................................... "A few weeks ago I had a most unusual experience. I had gone to the local Christian book store...looking for a particular CD...I looked and right before my eyes was "Stephanie Mainville...Family". Wow! I guess I just hadn't clued into the fact that it had been out several months already. So I bought one, and began listening on the way home. My spirits were lifted to hear you play your fiddle on the first song...and then all I could do was cry as I heard "Looking For More"...I felt it was written just for me." (Ontario) ..................................................................................................... “Thank you, thank you, thank you for trusting God and letting His heart flow through you.” (Moncton, NB) ..................................................................................................... "I love to play Stephanie's music....it captures me....and some of her songs, like Faithful God, blow through my spirit in a way that can only come from a truly great song. It's so exciting to know that she is a mom of four kids who simply loves God and expresses herself through her music." - Dana Rogalsky, Midday Announcer, UCB Canada 102.3 FM (Belleville, Ontario) ..................................................................................................... “Your music and your face combined give a
clear unmistakable message of how close the Lord is to you and how much He uses
your gift to touch hearts.” (Bishop Faber MacDonald – ..................................................................................................... “I have distributed CDs to points from ..................................................................................................... “Your grandparents kindly sent us your CD and we love it!” (Ontario) ..................................................................................................... “I thank God that we are able to hear such heavenly sounds and words on earth before we meet with Him.” (Quebec) ..................................................................................................... "I have been listening to the CD nonstop!
I love it. The production is very, very good...love the mixing and balancing of
voice and instruments. In some places your voice makes me think of one of
the Rankins, only better. Very clean and pure. I sense the presence
of the Lord throughout the recording. Tell Tim he did a great job
too." ( ..................................................................................................... “While we have your attention let us
recommend a new original recording called "Family" that
has just been released by Stephanie Mainville from Saint John
, - (Richard & Terry Long – Together Ministries, Toronto) ..................................................................................................... “We were listening to your CD yesterday
afternoon, and I, as always with your music, was moved deeply with love for the
Maritime region - longing to see the release of the Lord's spirit on its people,
and see a release of the Maritime culture in the church. I haven't said it
to you yet, but thank you Steph for labouring the way you did to see that CD
birthed. It is inspired by the spirit of the Lord, and I know that in our
home, His spirit moves every time it's played.” ( ..................................................................................................... “It’s great to hear about your new CD!!! May it be used in a mighty way across this country.” (Halifax, NS) ..................................................................................................... “People were deeply moved and wept while they
listened to the CD.” ( ..................................................................................................... "I listened to a few pieces (online), as well read your lyrics, BEAUTIFUL!! I will definitely be going out and buying a copy." ..................................................................................................... “Sweet CD! Everybody at St.FX loves your CD!!! Katie listened to it the first time and was like: "I REALLY like this CD", so with that, we proceeded to listen to the CD for 5 days straight... Anyway, I was just thinking that you need some salesmen and women and wondering what your thoughts on that are. The CD is awesome and needs to get out of Saint John. I will keep plugging it wherever I go.” (Antigonish, NS) ..................................................................................................... “Stephanie Mainville's music is much needed for the times. Her music is unique to the Maritimes and has a prophetic message which will help heal our land. The album will receive high priority in our lineup. God bless!” - (Jeff Lutes - CITA 105.9FM in ..................................................................................................... "Just a few lines to let you know how much
we appreciated your ministry at the Acadian gathering... God bless you and your
family at home..." (Moncton, ..................................................................................................... "I was at the Acadian
Gathering and I truly enjoyed your ministry in Music. The Awesome Presence
of God was an experience that I will cherish for the rest of my days here on
Earth. Thank you so much for Blessing us with your awesome musical talents and
Praise." (Summerside
