THE ALBERTA SESSIONS EP – AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE – APRIL 26th, 2024

Calgary, AB – Alberta is about to get a double shot of brass, jazz, funk and pop music with Delirium Street Party Brass and Ali Wick, on tour in late April/early May in support of their debut EP’s!

DELIRIUM STREET PARTY BRASS
Delirium Street Party Brass is a groundbreaking ensemble from Calgary, AB that is steadily building a reputation as one of the premiere brass bands in Canada. The group blends jazz elements from the New Orleans street band tradition with pop stylings, using its unique, percussion-and-horns-centered instrumentation to deliver a new take on the growing brass band genre.
DSPB features a diverse mix of the top jazz, soul, funk and pop musicians in Calgary, who represent three generations of professional musicians that all share a love for large ensemble energy and improvisation. The band’s lead singer Ali Wick is a powerhouse of pop with a unique style that blends numerous genres, while taking this diverse genre to a youth-based audience.
DSPB’s debut The Alberta Sessions EP is a reimagining of songs hand-selected by the Producers from the catalogue of our great legends of song in Alberta. The process of song selection was very thorough and without even trying, ended up producing 6 songs that are all penned by female, Alberta-born artists. Songs by Joni Mitchell, Kiesza, Jocelyn Alice, our own Ali Wick, Tegan and Sara, and Feist comprise this very special EP.
The EP was produced by 3-Time Juno Award winning Producer Scott Morin and DSPB band-leader John Abraham, with songs recorded and mixed at OCL Studios by Brennan Kennedy. The end result is an album that reinvents some of the classic songs from 6 of Alberta’s greatest songwriters through the lens of 12 uniquely talented jazz, pop and soulful musicians on the EP. For the upcoming Alberta-wide tour to launch this EP, Delirium Street Party Brass will be touring as a scaled down but still-meaty-8-piece-ensemble, filling each venue with their trademark brass band sound.

ALI WICK

Ali Wick is not only the lead singer and front-woman of DSPB, but a deeply talented singer, songwriter and recording artist in her own right. This tour will feature Ali performing her own special set of original songs, in addition to her role as singer in Delirium Street Party Brass. Ali will be performing a repertoire of new originals in support of her upcoming EP release which was recorded in Nashville, Calgary and Toronto and sees this raw, soulful and emotional artist step out with a set of autobiographical songs that relates deeply to a wide range of music fans.

Brass band cover of 1234 (Feist) featuring Ali Wick

22/03/24 15:05

Check out 1234 wherever you get your music! Listen your favourite music platform.



DSPB-1234-iCvr-800x800

Today March 22nd we release 1234. This is from our upcoming "The Alberta Sessions" EP. Our EP celebrates the songwriting of Alberta female artists in the brass band genre, featuring the amazing Ali Wick. What a better celebration of Alberta music than a song from Calgary's hometown girl Feist. We love the bouncy feel of this one, and Allistair Elliott's "Sgt Pepper" style piccolo trumpet at the end, and John Abraham's understated trombone solo. The post-teen melancholy in the lyrics is quite seductive. Hope you LOVE IT.
