Bio
The Twilite Broadcasters are the missing link between vintage country, old time, early bluegrass and rockabilly. Based in Asheville, North Carolina, the band creates traditional American music directly inspired by the likes of the Louvin Brothers and Bill Monroe.

“Besides the fact that this album contains
really good music, it's an interesting exposition
on the development of a certain
strain of country music, the close male

how that style grew out of classic oldtime
music and continually resurfaced
in the genres that sprang out of that era,
influencing everyone from the Osbornes
to the Everly Brothers. If you're an early-
Golden Era purist purist for whom the
Delmore Brothers represent a bridge too
far, don't balk when you see the song list
with pieces credited to Buck Owens and
Don Rich or the Everlys. Evening Shade
is remarkably consistent in its application
of a straightforward, old-time feel
to even the most honky-tonk material, so
the more modern country material here
will appeal to orthophonic-accustomed
ears. And if you're already a fan of the
broad sweep of country duet styles,
you'll certainly like this album.
