OneDay40 are an
Americana/Southern Rock band from Glasgow in
Scotland. Billy (bass), George (lead vocals), John
(guitars) and Andy (drums) first met in BritCountry
band Evangeline, a band that achieved two UK Country
number ones and a string of great live performances
in the early years of this decade. With credits
under their belt which included the National Stadium
in Glasgow, and the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville, the
guys gained a reputation for great songwriting and
an energetic stage show.
OneDay40 was formed in 2005 shortly after the demise of Evangeline,
primarily as a vehicle to continue the songwriting
partnership that John and Billy had formed, but very
soon resulted in studio sessions and a number of
critically acclaimed live shows. The album
"Unfinished Business", recorded under Paul
McGeechan's watchful eye at the famous Park Lane
Studios in Glasgow, and released in the UK, was a
result of this collaboration, featuring a number of
outstanding session performances from players on the
Glasgow scene. One of these session performers was
vocalist Tracey, who had just finished touring with Horse and
performing with KT Tunstall, and in January 2009 she
formally joined the band.
OneDay40 have always enjoyed things Americana, so were delighted in
February 2009 when they attracted the attention of
Nashville's Colt Records - resulting in their
signing to that label and a planned release of a new
version of "Unfinished Business" in the US. |
