To celebrate the winter solstice this year we decided to try something a little different. Sunrise Session II features my friend Josin on vocals and 13 wonderful musicians from the Reykjavík Recording Orchestra.
On this shortest day of the year, this is our tribute to brighter days ahead and I truly hope you enjoy it.
Wishing you all wonderful holidays!
