Andie Duncan (Actra, AFM) is an accomplished musical artist who began her career as a teenager singing background vocals at recording studios around Toronto.  As the lead singer and composer for the band Everest, she who the Q107 Homegrown Contest in 1986, leading to the release of her first single on MCA records, mixed by Getty Lee of Rush.  In the years that followed, Andie honed her professional skills with Second City improvisational classes as well as private voice lessons.

Her 25-year career has included solo artist performances of her original songs on the Lilith Fair stage, as well as opening theatre dates for a number of higher profile artists including k.d. Lang, Holly Cole, Jann Arden, Paula Cole and Joe Cocker.  She is currently the lead singer, composer and producer for The Bee's Knees, as well as writing and producing commercial jingles.  Andie and her husband are raising their two young children in Toronto.

Cyndi Duncan-Lumsden (BA, B.ed) is the co-writer and principle lyricist for The Bee's Knees project.  With over 20 years as a primary school teacher in downtown Toronto, Cyndi captures many of the interests, moods and experiences of the children she teaches  in the lyrical content of her songs. She values the importance of music and movement in the classroom. “Musical connections across the curriculum are essential to me as a teacher.  Kids like songs with great rhythms, catchy melodies and fun lyrics and they need on-going opportunities to sing and move to music using imagination and creativity in their own way.”

Cyndi's musical experiences include background singing and collaborations with Andie on various musical projects. Married to a fellow teacher and raising three teenagers of their own, Cyndi’s successes at home, in the classroom, and on stage begin and end with a sense of humour.
