Hi everyone!

 

Just wanna let you know we are posting new dates in 2011 almost everyday, check back and see when we might be rolling through your town.

I'd also like to let you fine folks know about a little fundraiser that the Tweeters are organizing. As some of you may know last summer we were one of the acts on the main stage on Sat night at The Music on The Mountain Festival (MOM). It was by far the best festival I've ever been a part of, the music was killer the people were great and the vibe was right. It was their first year in action so we wanted to do our part and help make sure this festival continues to grow, so many more people can enjoy it for years to come.

SOOOO we will be performing with a stellar line up of musicians on Thursday Feb 3rd 2011 at The Rivoli in Toronto to help bring some love back to the great people at MOM!

Tickets are $10 and all proceeds go to the festival. The acts included on the bill are Diana Catherine and the Thrusty Tweeters, Andrea Ramolo and her One Man Band, Brian MacMillan, Brenna MacQuarrie and much much more!

See you all down the road...

USA here we come!

Well those of you who have seen us live in the last 8 months have been hearing this new tune of ours Birdman. It was inspired by a painting I saw at Arts Wells Festival in 2009. We were blessed to play it this year and I told that story as I often do, low and behold the artist was there! Ladies and Gents the wonderful artist behind the painting Laura McIntosh .  You can see here work if you click her name. But for now here is the Painting that started it all! Woot Woot Canadian Artists Rock!

Big Thanks!!!!!

"Wow! This is a debut?  It's seems after just one listen that I've loved this album forever!  Great songs, a passionate singer with a terrific band equals an album that can't be ignored!  I can't believe these guys recorded this right under my nose in my hometown of Sarasota, and I didn't know about it.  It's early, but this is now the best new album I've heard this year and it may be some time before anything better comes along!"
