From a humble Canadian province steeped in country, bluegrass, celtic, and acadian music comes a remarkable sound that has turned on diehard country fans internationally.
From the small eastern town of Moncton, New Brunswick, they are The Divorcees -- replete with haunting jukebox ballads, truckstop classics, and rough-and-ready barn burners - where Austin, Bakersfield and L.A's Sunset Strip have been lovingly brewed together as cool and refreshing as a Canadian ale.
From its very inception, The Divorcees leapt onto Canada's main stage in high gear, garnering attention nation-wide with its debut album 'You Ain't Gettin' My Country' - an album which received national airplay, a popular video on CMT for their single "Red Haired, Red Blooded Woman" and a growing legion of fans nation wide.
2007 proved to be a banner year for the band with non stop touring, performances on CBC TV's national broadcast of the East Coast Music Awards, an ECMA nomination for Group Of The Year, and a spot on the bill in front of tens of thousands of country fanatics during Tim McGraw & Faith Hill's only outdoor stop of the 'Soul II Soul II' tour also featuring George Canyon, and Johnny Reid.
You may have also caught the band on XM Satellite radio, CBC's 'Definitely Not the Opera' or during one of their numerous interviews on CMT Central. All of this has helped make The Divorcees one of Canada's hottest country acts.
As 2007 drew to a close, The Divorcees received a second nomination from the East Coast Music Association - this time for Country Artist Of The Year - and they were chosen as 'Faces To Watch' in december 2007's Socan magazine.
2008 is looking to be an even more eventful year with a new album and planned stops at festivals and fairs across Canada - as well as another performance on the ECMA awards show to kick the whole thing off. Immense interest in the band has poured in from literally all over the world; fans have written in from Coast to Coast in North America and as far away as Australia and The UK.
And for the record... it is pronounced Divor CEES... not SAYS.
