Multiple CFMA winning Toronto songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Abigail Lapell returns with Anniversary, an evocative collection of original love songs co-produced by Lapell and Great Lake Swimmers’ Tony Dekker. Dekker helped shape the sessions’ spooky, resonant sound and also lent his voice to a couple of spellbinding duets. A stellar cast of musicians rounds out Lapell’s powerhouse vocals, piano, harmonica and fingerstyle guitar.
