Nominated for emerging artist by the Canadian Folk Music awards in 2010 Jadea has appeared on CBC Live and Stuart McLean's Vinyl Cafe.

Lyrics
You won't find me With a rolls royce degree Made my money as a Klondike queen And I made a man Leave love alone Like a pic to a stone Like the girls that you left back home Leave love alone Chorus: All the boys working in the coal mine All the girls laying down the rail line All the girls watching their gold shine And their hearts sway Hey hey hey Verse 2: It wont come clean His stained shirt or sleeves No matter how I scrub with tainted love These hills have trails Like long white veils Like the dirt underneath his nails These hills have trails Chorus
