SIVLE (Elvis spelled backwards and pronounced “civil”) is a versatile Indie and Soft-Rock band from Brantford Ontario Canada, belting out original tunes and an arsenal of legendary tunes from the 50s - Today. SIVLE is a family oriented band consisting of Joan Minnery on lead vocals, her son Bill Minnery on lead guitar, her brother Bob Minnery aka bigEZbob on rhythm acoustic and Dan Taylor on bass and drums.

While SIVLE is primarily a cover band; SIVLE went into the recording studio in the summer of 2019 and has released their own original explosive rock anthem, ""Whatever It Takes"" along with their Dixie-Prog single entitled ""What Would Walter Do"" a salute to Walter Gretzky. Both songs were written by Bill, Bob and Joan along with sister Anne Minnery. Both singles have garnered radio air play on Indie stations in Germany, Australia, the United States, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, England and Canada. They are distributed through CD Baby and available on Sound Cloud, iTunes, Spotify, Google, BandCamp, Amazon, and more.

SIVLE has also released two new singles in live version - ""Santa Gumbo"" and ""Throw Down Those Stones"", both of which were debuted at the Sanderson Centre for the Performing Arts on Friday December 20th, 2019 at the Gold Box Christmas Concert which SIVLE produced and directed with over 30 performers. The event helped raise over $3000 for the Rosewood House Shelter for the Homeless. Both new songs can be found on Soundcloud. They will be recording a full length album this upcoming June.

SIVLE were selected out of over 450 bands to play one of 5 spots and were the opening act for the 2019 WTFest Rock Festival, one of Ontario’s largest music festivals.

SIVLE were the featured entertainment at the 2019 Mayor's Levee and they also headlined the 2018 'FIND YOUR SPIRIT FEST’ and the 2018 'Downtown Music Fest' both at Harmony Square in Brantford. They have packed rooms at the Sanderson Centre, the Corktown Pub, Delhi Harvest Fest, Two Doors Down, Spice's on Syndenham, Zander's Fireside Grill, Jeffery’s Lounge, Manny’s Place, Branch 90 Legion, Tansley's, Upper Thames Brewery, the Norfolk County Fair, the Polish Hall, Frankies Hometown Tavern, the St. George Legion, the Honest Lawyer, the Dairy Capital Cheese Festival, the Norwich Museum and has a heated schedule at a variety of festivals, fairs and local establishments.

SIVLE salutes the classic sing-a-long hits of the Beatles, CCR, Janis Joplin, Tina Turner, Johnny Cash and of course ELVIS. There is something for everyone as the band also covers Pop and Country tunes from 50s - Today. The lads often take over and do their own original progressive rock songs and also salute Van Halen, Jimi Hendrix and other rock icons. SIVLE is a refreshingly youthful band combining two generations of musicians while bridging the age gap through likable tunes and interactive dynamic stage showmanship. Two Generations - One Foundation.

""As always SIVLE is a must see live! You can't see the energy this band gives off until you see them live. They connect with their fans and our energy feeds their energy. If you only see their show once, you have to return to a number of shows to witness the change from show to show, it’s an absolute delight! While contemplating SIVLE, I couldn’t help but think of the Grateful Dead who were one of the early pioneers of direct relationships with their live show fans and renown for fusing many different styles together. SIVLE is the Grateful ALIVE.” ~ Ken Shipman, Brantford ON
