Intelligent, melodic, catchy original songs.
Releasing themselves from the confines of Celtic stereotype, The Ecclestons and their special guests drummer Vince Ditrich
(Spirit of the West), multi- instrumentalist Hugh McMillan (Spirit of the West) , North American Fiddle Champ, Ivonne Hernandez,
and harmonica wizard, Chris Palmer explore a great range of experiences from the burning forests of British Columbia and Montana
to the serenity of a Japanese plum garden. Songs of leaving all behind and taking on the Big Big World to Dance as You go, a song
to take there with you. All singers and songwriters in their own right, this recording reflects the range, humour and musicality
that is The Ecclestons. There is a great range of musical style here yet it has a cohesiveness that comes from the road, the years
of adventures and people we connect with. Creative arranging and all the lush harmonies you would expect of this Victoria trio make it a must in your collection.. |
