NEW MUSIC COMING SOON – Andrea and Bill are thrilled to be recording their next album! Their jazz, folk and classical roots are all proudly showing in this sweet new bouquet of co-written songs that are sure to make you feel something. An all-star ensemble of some of Canada’s finest musicians joined them in studio for the project which will be released in September 2026 under the moniker Sweet William Society. Stay tuned!!
THE STORY SO FAR – Pianist Bill Brennan and singer Andrea Koziol met at a pretty wild first birthday party of a most illustrious Newfoundlander, and right away they realized they were a musical match made in heaven. They started playing shows in Toronto’s Gay Village, cutting their teeth on the American Songbook and developing a loyal following. Eventually they were playing venues and festivals across the country, and making regular appearances on the CBC. They made a critically acclaimed indie CD, Mario Russell, collaborated with Toronto jazz legends, toured in borrowed cars, slept in bathtubs, played music till all hours of the morning, and generally lived like kings. Eventually, their careers carried them in different directions, Bill returned to St. John’s and Andrea remained in Toronto. Despite their physical distance they continued to collaborate, and in 2019 joined forces to create the album I’ll Be Seeing You which won them MusicNL’s Jazz and Blues Artist of the Year. It’s a collection celebrating their history, performed by musicians who are not afraid to listen hard, explore, and improvise. (Buy it on Bandcamp!) With a new album in the works, this duo is looking forward to some damn fine musical adventures in 2026.
