Twilight Hotel

Twilight Hotel has teamed up with producer Colin Linden to record, Highway Prayer, the follow up album to their critically acclaimed 2006 release Bethune (nominated Best Americana Album at the 2007 American Independent Music Awards). Highway Prayer continues the duo’s provocative love story showcasing their characteristic dark twang and noir cabaret all the while centered around their rich vocal harmonies. 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 your Eyes. Their repertoire combines songs inspired by their off stage life together on the road and are informed by their uniquely Canadian sensibilities.

Hailing from the fertile music scene of Winnipeg, MB, Brandy Zdan & Dave Quanbury met in 2002 at the Trout Forest Music Festival in Ontario. The sparks flew in a fever, and they realized the power of combining their talents. Twilight Hotel have been compared to such memorable folk duos as Ian and Sylvia and Johnny and June because they radiate that certain elusive chemistry that can only come from two people in love singing together. Couples that make music together rarely find harmony in their relationships; Zdan and Quanbury are hoping to buck the trend with their personal and musical partnership in Twilight Hotel.

Constant touring in the U.S. and Canada continue to bolster the duo's profile. In 2006/2007 they played over 200 North American tour dates and showcased at the 2007 North American Folk Alliance as well as other regional showcases in the U.S. and Canada. Watch for Twilight Hotel across Canada in early 2008.
