biographical info
We are the Transatlantic Zodiac Ensemble: a celebration of life and
music.
We were born in the intense heat of a midsummer's night in 2009 when
Michael Dalton assembled our ranks for a one-off at a local pub. But
what started off as a one-night stand would quickly reveal itself to be a
mysterious love affair. The following year saw the septet mature and
develop into an eclectic musical family, finding fodder for our music in
far away places.
Our debut offering, 'It's a Mean Season for Silver Linings', takes
inspiration from Eastern European folk music, Middle Eastern melodies,
Indian ragas, American jazz, klezmer music, grunge rock, and much more,
all set against the backbone of driving rhythms and street folk music.
