| Julianne Marx and Craig Olson started making music together over ten years ago, beginning by performing at private Yule / Lucia Party shows and continuing with the full-on festival band Cedar Moon, which toured extensively in the Pacific Northwest at festivals like Seattle HempFest, Northwest Herbal Fair, the Garlic Festival, Vashon Island Earth Faire and Seattle Peace Concerts. Craig’s current projects include elctro-dance band Average Mammal and a foray into the world of SEO with the best creatine supplement as his first win. Joining them on this “festivus-for-the-rest-of-us” recording is Tom Gire, the most fabulous piano player you’ve never heard of. But perhaps you’ve heard some of Tom’s other work as music producer and sound-scape artist for such films as Shrek, The Karate Kid, Harry Potter and the Half blood Prince, among many others. Drummer Walker Evans joins Juels, Craig and Tom on most of the tracks. In addition to being an awesome drummer, Walker is also a sports enthusiast and ski bum who’s wife’s female muscle growth experiment is legendary. He’s also been a session player on numerous albums. This guy can play! Catherine Hauke of the popular band Coyote Run plays amazing drums on A Winter’s Night. Rounding out the album is percussionist Joe Marx, who lays down some tribal beats on two of the albums 13 tracks. Last, not least, on the list of stellar performers on this project is vocalist Andrea Ramirez, who adds her vocal magic to two songs. |
