Seasons In Time (DXL 1208) Digital Booklet

Seasons in Time is the extraordinary debut album of Eleanor and Gus, a genre-bending musical partnership between singer and double bassist Eleanor Grant and guitarist Gus McQuade. The twelve songs take us on a compelling musical journey, from Joni Mitchell’s The Circle Game and Urge for Going, to Benjamin Britten’s The Trees They Grow SoHigh, right back to John Dowland’s Time Stands Still and Robert Johnson’s Have You Seen But a White Lilly Grow. It also features one of Eleanor Grant’s own songs, In Time, as well as originalarrangements for voice, guitar and double bass by Eleanor and Gus.

As a duo, Eleanor and Gusare passionate about showcasing music in its broadest sense. While working together as students at the Royal Academy of Music in London, they quickly became aware of a mutual enthusiasm for mixing old with new, and bringing obscure and unknown repertoire to life. This led to the duo becoming recipients of the New Elizabethan Award, followed by their debut performance at Wigmore Hall in 2023. They have been unstoppable ever since.
