Following the success of the group's first record, Parade Day (2016), and extensive touring, Sussex is back with a second album that will transport you to an equally extraordinary and singular musical universe. With Emenau on vibraphone and pianica and Lutes on guitar, banjo,and vocals, The Ocean Wide is an eclectic, exhilarating journey — at times joyful, at times melancholy — that takes us improbably right to the very heart of American roots music. Featuring special guests Ivanhoe Jolicoeur on trumpet, and Bruno Lamarche on clarinet and saxophone, and recorded and mixed by renowned Montreal engineer Rob Heaney (Cirque du Soleil, Patrick Watson), The Ocean Wide features 13 new original songs that juxtapose multiple genres including folk, roots, and blues, and ventures into New Orleans jazz, Americana, country, and, on the title track itself, bebop and bluegrass. The band also offers up a superb reinterpretation of Steve Goodman's gem, “Lookin’ for Trouble.” The Ocean Wide is roots music in its more adventurous, exciting sense. The album explores a vast musical world and defies categorization while at the same time transporting us to the seductive sound of American music in the first half of the 20th century. The Ocean Wide is available on September 6, 2019. ARTIST BIOS Rob Lutes Rob Lutes's masterful fingerstyle guitar work and soulful voice bring an unmistakable intensity to his live performances.
