The last year has taken Steph across North America, has saw her become a beautiful bride to the love of her life, and she has continued to evolve as an artist. Add in a brand new iTunes EP release and you are face to face with Hello Bella in 2013.

The brand new single “Hero”, which made it’s world premiere on 99.1 CKXS, is a new side of Poort that is taking more of an intimate acoustic approach, stripping down to raw vocals and piano.

This song is one that Stephanie wrote to her father for her wedding. “It’s a very personal song but one I also wanted to share with the world because it really speaks of how important my dad is in my life and the role he has played,” says Poort. The song ended up being a surprise gift to Stephanie’s dad and they danced to it at her wedding with a screen projected in the background of video clips showing many special moments while growing up. The video for the single will also be released Tuesday and will show case some of those special moments and also pieces of the wedding day.

“I married my best friend on February 9, 2013. Nick and I met through music and after 6 years of touring, writing, recording and performing together, we decided it was time to take a little hiatus from the group and fulfill other dreams as well. We had a beautiful Florida wedding with our family and friends.”

Hello Bella is excited to get back into things again and “White” is the title of the latest two song project that Hello Bella will be releasing on iTunes May 21st. Coming from her own personal experiences over the past year, Poort believes that these songs will hopefully strike a chord with a lot of their fans. “It has been quite a year in my family as we celebrated two weddings, my sister’s and my own. The single “Hero” is written to a father from a daughter and I hope that a lot of girls will be able to relate to this song when one day they will get to walk down that aisle hand in hand with the man they always looked up to and thought the world of. I will never forget the look in my dad’s eyes as we danced and watched all those precious moments together that we’ve had over the years, I could feel the love and pride beaming through him.,” reflects Poort.

“White” also holds a second single that Poort had written for her sister as she as well became a bride this past year, a song titled “Ever After.” The title of the project speaks for the theme,” says Poort, “I really wanted to capture these moments in my life the best that I could and as a songwriter, I feel so blessed to be able to express them through music as well as share my stories with others. I really feel I am living a good story and that it’s only the beginning!”

“White,” is now available on iTunes, along with a brand new, touching YouTube video release, for the latest single, “Hero” – which you can see below.

Fans can keep their eyes peeled on the band’s Facebook fan page for all the latest details and news on upcoming releases and information.

Smashing up cars has become a familiar and long-lasting tradition on May 2-4 weekend in Dresden.

This year will be no different.

On Sunday, May 19, at 2 pm the tires will squeal, engines will roar, and mud will fly at the Dresden Racetrack.

Two local demolition derby veterans – Kris Stocking and Rob Markovic took over the reigns behind the scenes last year and continue to make the event bigger and better each year. Stocking and Markovic say there is still room for any interested drivers to participate.

“We’ve got cars from all over the local area and stretching across the province,” said Dresden’s Stocking, one of the organizers and the winner of two of the previous five Dresden derbies. “We get surprise entries from the US, some feisty female drivers too and we’ve also got more trophies and prizing than we’ve had in quite some time.”

Classes for this year’s smash ‘em up relay include the popular Pro-Mod Cars with a $2,000 first place purse, Pr-Mod Trucks with $1,000 up for grabs as well as Straight Stock Cars and Trucks,  Pro-Minis, a Pro-Mini Team Derby, Straight Stock Powder Puff for the ladies and a Figure 8 Race. All categories come with lucrative purses for the drivers. Prizes will also be dolled out for Hardest Hit, Best Decorated and Longest Tow

The organizing committee is looking to add some additional sponsors this year as well.

To register for the derby or inquire on sponsorship, call 519-809-6056 or e-mail stocks00@hotmail.com or teamcrunchit@hotmail.com.
