Traveling across the globe exploring four separate solo careers, the four members of Early Winters have gathered sonic souvenirs to share with each other and their listeners. Made up of U.K.-bred singer Carina Round, Canadian artist Justin Rutledge, L.A. producer/musician Dan Burns and Zac Rae of the band Pedestrian, the formation of the band started as an informal writing session that blossomed into an expansive musical partnership.
Justin, Dan and Carina got together to write a track that led to an instant placement of "Turn Around" on the hit CBS show Ghost Whisperer. After adding in Zac to complete the quartet, Early Winters was born. It wasn't long before their songs were popping up online and added into heavy rotation on KCRW, CBC, and CJTR. They shared their poignant tunes for the first time live last year in Canada in front of packed houses opening for Justin.
Since all four were on the road and in the studio, in order to finish their debut album they had to get creative. Continuing to write songs via video chat and Skype, they finished the album from each corner of the world: Carina from her home bases in the UK and Los Angeles, Justin from Toronto, Dan from Tokyo where he was recording and performing with the legendary Japanese artist Utada, and Zac from New Zealand where he was recording with Tim Finn (Split Enz, Crowded House).
