In November I had a session with The Fretless. They’re a brand new string quartet comprised of super-talented members Ivonne Hernandez, Karrnnel Sawitsky, Trent Freeman, and Eric Wright. They were meeting in Victoria to record their debut album, and since they come from Vancouver Island via Boston, Saskatchewan and Los Angeles, it made sense to have their promo photos taken while they were all in the same city. It was a freezing day, but we managed to stay warm with hot soy beverages and laughter…lots of laughter. If you head over to their website, you can hear a few tracks they recorded. I was sent three tracks to preview last evening, and it’s really good so I’m looking forward to hearing the whole album! Don’t be confused when you see the name Mile Zero…that one was on the drawing board for a while, but they are now officially ‘The Fretless‘.

A few images from a session with The Worry Birds at York Redoubt in Halifax, NS. Band members Zach Smith, Adelle Meagher, and Bhreagh MacDonald were so much fun during this shoot and kept park visitors entertained with their tunes. They’ll be working on their album during 2012, so keep your eyes peeled for the release!

Had a session full of laughs with The Worry Birds in Halifax, NS. More to come.

One image from my session with Ivonne Hernandez this evening before she heads back out on the road on Sunday.

No strangers to the Victoria music scene (and after performing together for many years) musicians Ivonne Hernandez and Jeremy Walsh have have finally recorded an album together! They finished in the studio a few days ago and the album has an anticipated release before April!
