Brother Twangwith Marble CanyonBrother twang is a group of four guys who have forged a unique rock style using their own songwriting skills to create music in many different genres. Whether the music is laid back mellow tunes, ferocious heavy metal rocker tunes, or our special brand of hard charging country twang, we play what comes to us at any given timein a rock format.George skoupas and his good friend derek heavy d stembridge had moved from toronto to whistler in early 2000. In 2007, george and derek went looking for musicians that would gel with their vision of a rock band. They were searching for a rhythm section that could play their type of music. Along came jason downtown jay brown romany, a singer/guitarist, who has a very laid back approach to songwriting and an intense stage presence during live performances. They found todd vague, a drummer with a long history within the whistler music scene. Brother twang was now ready to rock. Brother twangs debut gig, at 2008's pemberton festival, started the live ball rolling. Then, brother twang was sent to london, england by tourism whistler for a series of performances at the metro ski and snowboard festival. After releasing their first street level cd, they toured the lower mainland and vancouver island, which expanded the brother twang fan base. Following performances on mountain fm and the 20th anniversary worcapalooza in whistler, they released a second street level cd. Brother twangs next step is to increase their fan base with several live performances during the 2010 olympics and paralympics. With this kind world recognition on the horizon, it was an ideal time to record in a professional studio. With the assistance of mike cashin at bryan adams the warehouse studio, they completed recording a new cd aptly named a taste of the twang. Brother twang needs a manager, a publicist/promoter, and a booking agent who can increase the quantity and quality of our gigs, who can increase the distribution and airplay of their music, and provide them with guidance and career advice. Brother twang has an amazing sound that is showcased on our new cd entitled a taste of the twang. The cd has an eclectic range of music that includes the hard-charging twang of without a trace, the melodic toe tapping of our canadian anthem hockey cards, and the pure ferocious metal of john candy.
