Description: The Twisters- Canada's premier jump/blues band have been signed to the prestigious NorthernBlues label with their new release- After The Storm. The band has just recently battled a big storm of their own, having gone through a devastating automobile accident that took the life of their bass player, James Taylor, and injured the rest of the band in October 2005. They battened their hatches and rallied back with the acquisition of new upright bass player, Keith Picot, and recorded a brand new CD of original tunes. It apparently turned the head of NorthernBlues president, Fred Litwin, who promptly signed the former Independent Music Award winners and 2002 Juno Award nominees.
The new CD stays true to their high-spirited jump/blues tradition, but includes many different grooves and feels, bringing this CD to a new level of excellence.
Featuring the lead vocals, harmonies, and song writing of both harmonica player David Hoerl and guitarist Brandon Isaak, and backed superbly by the top-notch rhythm section of Matt Pease on drums and Keith Picot on upright bass, the new CD was recorded and engineered in Whitehorse, Yukon in January 2006 by Brandon and brother Chris Isaak. Special guest on piano and organ is Kenny Blues Boss Wayne who is the 2005 Juno Award winner for Best Blues Album.
The Twisters have weathered the storm and are ready to bring their hot blues/jump/swing/bluesabilly tunes to you!
