Album Notes

On their long-awaited third album, Three Quarter Ale invites you to take a trip to Newcastle, England and to the quaint home of tight-knit minstrels Ariana Pellayle, Rosemary Quench and Wicked Pete Speakeasy as they celebrate the winter holidays. This warm and uplifting collection features beautiful traditional tunes of Chanukah and Christmas, as well as some jazzy surprises and Three Quarter Ale’s own unique originals. Three Quarter Ale’s delightful combination of chiming harp, lilting flute, sprightly guitar and exquisite harmony vocals is enhanced by many talented guest artists as they move happily from 16th-century madrigals to 60’s jazz and back again. Perfect accompaniment for sitting about the fireplace, wrapping gifts or trimming the tree. Long the toast of the Georgia Renaissance Festival pub crowd, Three Quarter Ale will enchant you as they whisk you back to a bygone age of mirth, whimsy and nostalgia.
