Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to the finest group of people I have come to know!
I hope you are having a good end to your year, whether you're celebrating or not.
2019 has been MIGHTY for us.
We put out an album, 2 music videos, toured, bought a new van AND created 12 beautiful patreon things.
And all thanks to your support ❤️❤️❤️

So, this month's official "thing" was a reeeeally fun one.
I adore this song since I came across it when I was a student, and I have even taught it to a few of my own piano students. It's a beautiful piece of jazz, rearranged tastefully by the absolute master Nina Simone. I struggled with the solo... a lot.
We thought as a fun idea that Hana (otherwise known as "Peeps") would do an amazing job on the sultry vocals and a Jessica Rabbit style performance to match.
Hope you enjoy it!
The video was shot by our good friend and collaborator Steve Johnson from Idle Bones.
The track was recorded and produced by our very own Garry Mitchell. What a babe. Special thanks to Alex Ball for the lend of the double bass!
