I first heard Canadian band Twilight Hotel in September 2007 when they stopped by The Goldhawk in Hoboken. The other day, I received an email from them announcing their nomination for a JUNO award. For those of you in who are not familiar with the Junos, they are the Canadian equivalent to the Grammy’s.
Twilight Hotel is being nominated for best Roots & Traditional Album of the Year: Group Category. Also nominated in that category are Elliot Brood and NQ Arbuckle, as well as their fellow-Winnipeggers, The Duhks and Chic Gamine.
Winners will be announced at the JUNO Gala Dinner & Awards on Saturday, March 28 and then during the JUNO Awards broadcast on CTV on Sunday, March 29 from General Motors Place in Vancouver, BC.
I wish them the best of luck. Below is an excerpt from my September 2007 review.
Hoboken Unsigned II (Sep-14-2007)
It was a simple set up of two guitars (occasionally one guitar and one accordion) and two voices. Combining traditional folk, blues, rock and cabaret, they packed quite a punch. You can tell how much they enjoy working and writing together. The best description of their eclectic sound came from singer/songwriter Rob Nicholas who said their sound was like big band music, but without the big band.Read More: Hoboken Unsigned II
