Twilight
Hotel
2009 JUNO Nominees,
Twilight Hotel, is the musical partnership
of Brandy Zdan & Dave Quanbury. Together
they
|
|
they possess an elusive
chemistry and a musical flavor that has been
hard to define by their fans. "Sublime
harmonies, stellar songwriting and dark, vintage
vibes" as described by Performing Songwriter
Magazine. Zdan on a '62 Harmony Rocket, '57
Silvertone Lap Steel and Honer Accordion,
and Quanbury on the upside down 30's Parlour
guitar, homemade stomp box along with a 40's
Stratoliner Vintage Microphone. They can be
seen accompanied by a rotating door of 'junkyard'
percussionists adding to their characteristic
dark twang and noir cabaret.
Hailing from the fertile
music scene of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, Zdan
& Quanbury met in 2002 at a folk festival
and realized the power of combining their talents.
They have recently re-located to the music hot-spot
of Austin, TX but will remain true to their
Canadian roots.
|
In 2008, they released
their sophomore album Highway Prayer, produced
by Colin Linden. Recorded in Nashville, TN,
Highway Prayer features prolific guest musicians
including the late Richard Bell (Janis Joplin,
The Band), Stephen Hodges (Tom Waits), and Dave
Roe (Johnny Cash). The 12 original songs run
the gamut from the opening rockabilly jump manifesto,
Viva la Vinyl, the street busker feel of Shadow
of a Man, to the heartbreaking confessional
closer Sand in you Eyes. Highway Prayer has
received critical praise both nationally &
internationally including a debut at #2 on the
Euro Americana Chart , a Western Canadian Music
Award for Outstanding Roots Album Duo/Group,
a 2009JUNO nomination for "Roots &
Traditional Album of the Year", and included
as one of '9 to watch for '09' by Performing
Songwriter Magazine.
