Broken Trail was voted in the Top-10 out of nearly 300 bands (of all musical genres) in KING 5 Evening Magazine's 2008 Best of Western Washington contest.***They were also the only Country Band ranked in the Top-10***
Broken Trail's debut CD titled "What This Country Needs" was released in April 2009. All songs were written, arranged, and performed by Broken Trail. Co-produced by the band with Rickie Ray Heinzman at Bam Bam Studios, this disc features high-energy modern country songs that have become the band's signature sound. * * * *
Broken Trail was born out of a mutual love for live country music, and more importantly, a demand for good bar-bands in Washington. Formed by Barry Bernier and Mark Medalen in 1996, Broken Trail has built a large, devoted fan base with their energetic live shows, fun stage presence, and most importantly, great song selection that appeals to dancers and music lovers of all ages. * * * * * * * Read an interview and CD review online at http://www.theolympian.com/nightlife/story/857238.html
