FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The Charlie Tango Project Takes Flight with Debut Album Life in the Sky
Wellington, New Zealand – The Charlie Tango Project, the brainchild of Wellington musicians Chris Cresswell and Phill Adams, is proud to announce the release of their debut album, Life in the Sky. A labour of love spanning over two years, the album showcases the talent and collaboration of local musicians, including Gary Taylor on keyboards, vocalist Olivia Marie, and renowned guitarist Nick Granville.

Says Cresswell, "We are acutely aware of detail, and our hope is that listeners will uncover and discover different layers over successive listens."
With nods to iconic artists like Icehouse, Simple Minds & Pink Floyd, Life in the Sky blends strong melodies and choruses, instantly familiar songs that invite listeners into its richly layered soundscape.
