Squamish's Liesl Petersen is no stranger to singing — she's a regular vocalist with the Bluesberry Jam Showband — but she kicked it up a notch to co-create and sing a new song, "Alone Together" and pandemic-themed music video.
"It's a little project that Brian Marchant and I have been working on," she told The Chief.
Marchant is a local recording and sound engineer.
"I can't speak for how many hours he spent reloading the background tracks in his home recording studio in the Highlands, but he asked me to put lyrics to it, and about eight hours later, we had a track."
After the pair laid down the track, Petersen got the idea to do a music video and started asking her friends on Facebook to send her video clips of them dancing to her song.
And they did.
The video was edited by her boyfriend, Allen Edwards, and took about 12 hours over two weekends, she said.
Petersen released the video on Facebook in April 18.
Petersen and Marchant are working on an album, she said, but let this song "fly for COVID."
