Dean Thiessen

Traditions deconstructed like a jigsaw and put together anew. Anita Eccleston’s Winter Gala renders old-timey carols to reemerge in a lofi jazz dream. Glistening with bells, the album is brought to life with her band. Brass-laden warmth is wrapped in rich vocal pads atop hip hop inspired beats, infused with holiday nostalgia.

Anita Eccleston - trumpet/vocals , Lizzy Eccleston - oboe/English horn/electric ukulele, Ashley Pearce electric guitar, Dean Thiessen - piano/keyboards, Graham Clark - electric/upright bass and Trent Otter - drums/percussion
