The Making of Melanie Dekker’s Christmas Album – ‘THE NEW OLD FASHIONED WAY’

This is a sneak preview showing the making of Melanie Dekker’s Christmas album 2020

The Christmas spirit sprung out of the talented musicians who appear in this video. As a result of over 400 years of combined musical experience, an excellent team, and the fun of being dressed up for Christmas on Halloween, we were able to record this album in one miraculous, gold dusted afternoon.

Who is in the video & Where is this?

With fervent enthusiasm I’d like to introduce the beautiful talented souls who made magic at this spirited session:

Award winning legendary horn player, Tom Keenlyside. Spirited & renown drummer, Pat Steward. Multi-talented with an eyebrow raising wow factor BG singer, Jay Riehl, Slide Guitarist & Rock ‘n rockabilly style guitarist, Eric Reed. Engineer and mastering master, David Jewer. Canadian producer & multi-instrumentalist, Allan Rodger. Oh, and…me!

Airborne Studios in North Vancouver, BC, Canada, was the right place to record this ‘NEW OLD FASHIONED WAY’ record. (Not just a Covid careful environment but for other feel good reasons as well). There was no rehearsal, and the bed-tracks (drums, bass, guitar, piano) were all recorded at once (50’s style).
