   About Twilight Hotel
TWILIGHT HOTEL LANDS A JUNO NOMINATION FOR ROOTS & TRADITIONAL ALBUM OF THE YEAR (2009) FOR HIGHWAY PRAYER.

HIGHWAY PRAYER WINS OUTSTANDING ROOTS ALBUM (DUO/GROUP)
2008 WESTERN CANADIAN MUSIC AWARDS


Twilight Hotel is the musical partnership of Brandy Zdan & Dave Quanbury. In 2008, Twilight Hotel teamed up with Colin Linden to produce Highway Prayer (WCMA Outstanding Roots Album Duo/Group), which continue’s the duo’s provocative love story showcasing their characteristic dark twang and noir cabaret all the while centered around their rich 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 you Eyes.

Hailing from the fertile music community of Winnipeg, MB, Zdan & Quanbury met in 2002 at a folk festival and realized the power of combining their talents. Constant touring in North America & Europe continue to bolster the duo’s profile. In 2007/2008 they played over 250 North American/Europe tour dates.

Highway Prayer has received critical praise both nationally & internationally including a debut at 2 on the Euro Americana Chart in June 2008. Performance highlights for 2008 include Trafalger Square in London, England for the Canada Day Celebrations, mainstage at the infamous Kerville Folk Festival in Kerville, TX, and the Bremenale Festival in Bremen, Germany.

Quotes

"Twilight Hotel, a most winning pair. Dave and Brandy are not only musically talented and engaging, but they are innovative, fresh and original. They somehow manage to blend a Parisian cabaret sound, vintage rock, country and their original style into one cohesive, highly entertaining sound. I doubt they'll be playing small clubs much longer."
-Rich Warren WFMT Chicago

"From the classic country bend of “Impatient Love” to the heartbreaking “Sand in Your Eyes,” it is a record that sounds as genuine as it is distinct, and as distinctly genuine as few records can claim to be."
-Jim Malec,9513.com, Jan.23.2008

"The album (Highway Prayer) marks a more complete and unique turn in the band's sound, making the band a staple in the Canadian independent music scene."
-Ryan Keplin, Niagara News Jan.18.2008
