2009 JUNO Nominees, 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, the Bremenale Festival in Bremen, Germany and the Blue Highways Americana Festival in Utrecht, Netherlands.
