Local singer/songwriter
Gillian Nicola has been described as alt-country. She was even nominated for that category at the
Hamilton Music Awards this year. Her latest 6-song EP,
Chasing the Wind, done with her band, The Radio Interference, proves that she has more to offer.
With a style encompassing rock, soul, indie, country and folk, Gillian and the gang have created a fabulous sound that transcends categories.
The highlight, of course, is the singer's lovely voice - filled with personality and soul. Combine that with an outstanding band (Ben Alexander on lead guitar, Andrew Ivens on keyboards and mandolin,
Bruce Scavuzzo on bass, and
Timon Wientzek on drums) and you've got the recipe for some marvelous music. Guests on the disc include Eric Persichini (who also mixed and engineered the EP), Alex Howard, and others.
Physical CDs and downloads are available at Gillian's live shows and through her
Bandcamp page. It can also be downloaded through
iTunes.
Earlier this year, she also released an amazing 3-song collection entitled
Live Tracks. It features two live versions of tracks from
Chasing the Wind and a
I Won't Give In.
