Although not a concept album, the season of autumn figures prominently on Billy Sugarfix’s Carousel debut E.P. As an elementary school teacher, the idea of autumn representing a beginning has become ingrained in Billy Sugarfix’s psyche. Whereas the confusion and angst of relationships ending has been well documented in the pop canon, the drama involved in a relationship’s beginning is rarely addressed. So, this record seeks to explore the potential trials involved in a relationship’s beginning, often using autumn as a metaphor.

Douglas Vuncannon- Doug plays bass with the Carousel, Curtis Eller, and varied avant garde orchestras in the area when he is not in Viet Nam or Thailand.

Sara Zaleta- An instructor of piano and voice by profession Sara lends us her talents whenever she is not in France or Iceland.

Wendy Spitzer- A classically trained Oboist, robot rock bassist, and composer who is currently working on an album of ring tones.

Justin Blatt- The triangle’s premier Viola shredder. When he’s not riding the carousel he’s tending his Shit Horse.

Zsolt David- Trucker, mechanic, father and drummer. This Hungarian superstar gives the Carousel its pulse.
