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 - and they are living proof that old-school, double-fisted, hardcore honky tonk country is alive and kicking.
Word has spread of these Great Northern Outlaws, their music, and their unforgettable live shows - where Austin and Bakersfield have been lovingly brewed together as cool and tasty as a good 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. In 2008, they won that award, beating out George Canyon and Jimmy Rankin.
2008 has been an even more eventful year with a new album currently underway and stops at Big Valley Jamboree, the Canadian Country Music Awards, and more. Immense interest in the band has poured in from literally all over the world as fans have written in from Coast to Coast in North America and as far away as Australia and The UK.
Much to their pleasant surprise, those 4 humble guys from NB have made friends with people like Gordie Johnson, The Road Hammers, Gordie Sampson, Trace Adkins, Casey Clarke, Emerson Drive, and many others along the way.
They're loving the ride - and they hope you do, too.
And for the record - it's Divor CEES...not SAYS.
