The Duhks Bring It On Home to the Pyramid

2009 JUNO and WESTERN CANADIAN MUSIC AWARDS Nominees THE DUHKS BRING IT ON HOME TO THE PYRAMID!

“This Grammy-nominated and Juno-winning five-piece band is PHENOMENAL and a MUST-SEE!!” (Ashley Hans, Philadelphia Indie Music Examiner)

Winnipeg, Manitoba – The Duhks, Leonard Podolak, Sarah and Christian Dugas, Tania Elizabeth and Jordan McConnell are bringing it all home and taking over their familiar haunt, Winnipeg’s Pyramid Cabaret on September 24th.

The Duhks’ exceptionally soulful and exciting fusion of roots, world beat and soul has garnered them outstanding reviews on their 2008-2009 Fast-Paced World tour of most every major city and festival in the U.S. These incredibly busy musicians have also toured in Australia, England, Scotland, Ireland, Denmark and Canada.

Jaw-dropping live shows and stellar one-take recorded performances have been par for the course. In Los Angeles, KLOS’s legendary Mark and Brian Morning Show “presenting Southern California’s Best Rock”, saw its jam-packed web servers go down as rabid listeners tried to log on!

Their Fast-Paced World CD is one of the Boston Globe’s top picks for 2008 and deemed the group’s best album yet by Winnipeg Free Press Bruce Lapierre, while The Tuscon Citizen reads, “The band seems to adhere only to one principle: Keep things focused and steeped in passion.”

“In person, The Duhks' already charged music takes on an even livelier and more engaging form. Each member of the authentically friendly, musically mystifying quintet sports full-on distinctiveness, so while being swept about in the unclassifiable audio gale, audiences can grab onto the interesting visual component of the five - each so different - in action.” (Check out the recording session and article at: Luxury Wafers Exclusive: The Duhks, Live@Chessvolt Studios - Los Angeles)
Leonard writes: “Following up on our two sold out shows at the Park Theatre last winter, we are anticipating a memorable Winnipeg evening at our legendary Pyramid Cabaret.”
Watch for the Fall 2009 release of The Duhks’ rendition of Bob Dylan’s It’s Alright Ma on a Savoy Records compilation tribute album to Greenwich Village. They are featured alongside fellow Canadians Cowboy Junkies and other musical greats such as Lucinda Williams and Amos Lee…
