Fat,
Happy and Blue is a songwriting coalition, based in Toronto, and
comprised of Tony Laviola, Louise Peacock and Tony Quarrington. Each
member brings their own special songwriting talent to the table.
They have just finished their first album, Surreal Memphis Blue
Formed in early
2009, for the express purpose of compiling and arranging songs for
their
Blues album, “Surreal Memphis Blue”, Fat, Happy and Blue combines a
mix of excellent and seasoned musicianship and song- writing skills
with energy and enthusiasm.
Louise Peacock originally
wrote all the songs - lyrics and music.
In 2007 she and Tony Laviola
began to rework some of them. In 2009 they got together with veteran
composer/arranger and multi instrumentalist, Tony Quarrington and they
formed Fat, Happy and Blue, and the revamping of the material became
serious.

“Surreal Memphis Blue”, was co-produced by Tony
Quarrington
and Tony Laviola, with production assistance (and heckling) from Louise
Peacock. This
album has the warm sound of a live recording and makes you feel as
though you were in the room with the musicians. The 15 original
compositions are fresh and original and showcase the combined writing
skills of the band members.
