Thank all the amazing people who participated in this adventure with me!
I would love to talk about all the incredible musicians I had the honour to work with on my album Get to It
Co-Producer! Percussionist! Homme à tout faire! Visionary! We have a very special bond, he is my partner, always so giving, generous, present and patient. And me who loves everything percussions, he plays on many tracks of the album. I cannot resist those rhythms… It gets me dancing every time. For those who know Matt, he is the "best" at making sure everyone is well-fed and well taken care of at all times. That is his soul food!
Co-producer! Musician! Mister Westtrainz!
Matt and Erik joined forces and co-produced this album with sublime complicity. Talk about being in good hands! With his extraordinaire musicianship and listening skills, working with Erik was nothing but a creative and happy time. His laughter is contagious. His ideas are ingenious!
He is such a tender soul! His presence is undeniable!
Very impressive artist! He does it all! He is a multi-instrumentalist, he has an incredible voice, he can sing high and low. Harmonies just keep coming nice and easy! And…. He is a superb engineer…. He plays the console like he plays the Wurlitzer or his dobro or you name it! Ideas just keep coming… I am also crazy about is back-up vocals on this project…. Olaf you are “an essential service, a true front line worker”.
For him it’s simple, groove, groove and when you hit the chorus… more groove. He has that swampy “je ne sais quoi” pocket that I love! Very cabaret!
His kit is wacked, all kinds of crazy drums, and pieces of metal. He is an absolute pro and such a fun human to hang, play and create with!
joined us for the Leonard Cohen song, Dance Me to the end of Love! What a gift! Her playing is so tender, so powerful, the relationship between her cello and the voice is perfect and profound … she will definitively make me dance to the end of love.
I am sure Leonard would approve!
extraordinary percussionist! He started playing his drums and dancing when he was a kid… it’s deep inside him. In “Your Heart Belongs to You” he plays the Wudu, a musical gourd that just drives the tune with an irresistible beat…. I challenge you to stay seated. Moïse is a powerhouse of percussion. A brick wall of groove!
Our adventure began with them at Studio Victor the old RCA studio in St. Henri in 2012 when we recorded four songs. These three buskers, multi-instrumentalists, singer-songwriters made crowds in Brazil and everywhere in Quebec explode with their non-traditional folk-style music.
One day, I was waiting for them to start their performance, well seated, not far from the stage with my freshly served beer ... the music started, the whole room emptied to fill the dance floor, as well as my beer, unfortunately on my coat. They are awesome. It swings with them!
Get to It
