It seems odd to be writing about a group called Silent Winters after just transitioning to spring, but here we are.
The Canadian Folk duo of Olenka Bastian and Jonathan Chandler began as a side project in 2017, when the pair were members of the Ottawa Indie group Amos The Transparent. The name is meant to reflect the silence one experiences after a heavy snowfall, when the blanket of snow seems to absorb all sound. Their music follows in the tradition of Folk duos like Simon & Garfunkel and The Civil Wars.
Silent Winters have two albums under their belts, an album of ethereal lullabies, "Fireworks & A Small Brigade", and the recently released collection of songs derived from the history of the immigrant Canadian community of LeBreton Flats, "The Duke Hotel". For their third album, Silent Winters is working on something befitting of their name...a Christmas album.
Silent Winters dipped their toe in the Christmas snow this past December with a cover of "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas", which is available as a free download on their web site.
