Sue and Dwight

Celebrate the season in The Spirit of the Holidays!

In The Spirit of the Holidays

While the holiday season comes but once a year, the spirit of the season should live on for the entire year. That’s the message of 'In The Spirit of The Holidays' the holiday single from Toronto roots duo Sue and Dwight. 

The song was written during the lockdown of 2020. Sue was reflecting on how the world had changed unexpectedly and that for most, there would not be the usual get-togethers of family and friends over the holidays. Many of us were understandably disheartened at the prospect. But it was also a reminder that the spirit of the holidays… peace, caring and compassion… can carry on and are needed all year around because we never know what lies ahead.

The song brings together a number musical elements to convey its message. Seasonal clavinet and bells blend with guitars, accordion and the duo’s harmonies. For 2022, the duo has also created a new fresh remix of the song.   

Celebrate the Spirit of the Holidays…peace on earth, goodwill to all that lasts throughout the year.

About Sue and Dwight

Although Sue and Dwight were born too late to be part of the folk revival of the 1960’s their music embodies the spirit of that time. Winnipeg born and Toronto based, both are songwriters whose work focuses on themes of peace, courage, and social justice.

With one foot planted solidly in folk music, Sue and Dwight comfortably step out into pop, gospel, and the blues Their three CD’s and numerous singles reflect on their prairie roots, their experiences in Canada’s largest city, and their travels to rural areas of east Africa.

Sue and Dwight have performed in clubs across Canada and have been mainstays of the Toronto Subway (TTC) busking program for over a decade. Since 2020, they have reached new audiences across North America and into the UK with over 170 weekly online shows of original music as well as monthly shows featuring songs from the 1960’s and 1970’s.
