Local band, the Awakeneers, have brought some Christmas cheer to Campbell River.
The band has released a new holiday song called ‘December in the North’ written and recorded in Willow Point for a free download.
“While other people were struggling to dig their way out of the driveway after last December’s snow-dump, songwriter Isa McKenty was catching snowflakes on his tongue and writing this song,” says a press release from the band. “To capture, in music, the feeling of walking the snow-covered streets and trails of Willow Point with icy fingers and a glad heart, the Awakeneers use violin, guitar, cello, and four-part vocal harmony - woven together with memories of childhood snow days and Christmas baking on a wood stove.”
‘December in the North’ is already uploaded on streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music, but listeners can download it or free at: www.awakeneers.com/songs/december-in-the-north.
The Awakeneers describe themselves as a “nomadic tribe of multi-instrumentalist songwriters” performing a mix of folk music.
