Sussex’ first album, Parade Day, was recorded in the legendary Studio Frisson in Montreal in Fall 2014 and Winter 2015. Featuring a unique mix of instruments and a group of some of Canada's finest players on 11 diverse new originals and the Randy Newman gem ‟Dayton, Ohio, 1903,” the album forms a modern day love letter to the early jazz, blues and folk.
