In the classic style of Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys, and inspired by great bands like The Time Jumpers and Asleep at the Wheel, this sound of classic Americana comes direct from Canada!
The Western Swing Authority is a unique collaboration of some of Canada’s top studio and touring musicians who share a common love for authentic western swing. In the recent telecast of the National CCMA Awards Show, fiddle player, Shane Guse won the 2011 CCMA Fiddle Player of the Year & Peewee Charles (aka Ed Ringwald), 2011 Steel Guitar Player of the year... A group of seasoned professionals whose bios include multiple Canadian Country Music Awards, Juno nominations, and resumes that span from Gordon Lightfoot, to Kellylee Evans to George Canyon, to The Arrogant Worms. Since April of 2009, The Western Swing Authority has been drawing big crowds to their regular Tuesday night gig at The Commercial Tavern, in Maryhill, Ontario, Canada. Now with the success of their debut album, they are bringing their music to people all around the world.
The Western Swing Authority recreates the sound that attracted crowds to the dancehalls of Texas, Oklahoma and California in the 1930’s and 40’s, and has continued in popularity to present day.
