_____________________

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 So High, 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 original arrangements for voice, guitar and double bass by Eleanor and Gus.

Eleanor and Gus formed their duo as second year undergraduates at the Royal Academy of Music. While working together, they became aware of their mutual passion for exploring multiple genres, from the Renaissance period to the present day, embracing folk and jazz influences. They became holders of the Musicians’ Company’s prestigious New Elizabethan Award 2022/23, leading to their debut at the Wigmore Hall in February 2023. Since then, they have performed at various venues and festivals, such as St Martin-in-the-Fields (London), Stapleford Granary (Cambridge), St George’s Bristol and Dillington Guitar Festival.
