Expertly concocted and sure to cure what ails ya, Elixir blends Nils Fredland's superb calling with Ethan Hazzard-Watkins' fiddle stylings and guitarist Owen Morrison's rhythmic footwork. With its killer wind section -- featuring Anna Patton (clarinet), Jesse Hazzard-Watkins (trumpet), and Nils (trombone) -- this breathtaking ensemble brews up rich textures laced with rhythmic excitement as elegant melodies evolve into raucous riffs. Lush harmonies, yummy improvisations, and tasty rock and reggae-inspired themes weave in and out of traditional and original Irish, French Canadian, and New England tunes. Curiously refreshing!
