Vocalists

The three vocalists of Marked by Love have been singing together since the Fall of 2003, originally based out of Guelph Citadel corps in Guelph, Ontario, Canada.

(Learn about Ethembeni.) She conducted her Master's research work in Botswana. Erin and her husband worked in Zambia for a year and a half, returning to Canada at the end of 2010. The group members are glad to have her home and to be performing together again. Erin currently works with an international relief organization and is expecting her first child in late December 2011.
