ABOUT:
A stellar line-up of Vancouver musicians reinvents the classics of country/rockabilly legend Johnny Horton, with lyrics and arrangements that showcase Adler’s signature mix of dry humour and human insight. A tune about marauding bears is transformed into a disco-punk anthem to dangerous women; a tale about a rascally mountain man is recast as the schemes of a Vancouver housing developer. Equal parts entertaining and rabble-rousing, Ten Thousand Wolves' Johnny Horton Remix is an accordion-fueled, harmony-filled tribute to mushing huskies and the Northern Cowboy.
The all-star cast of players includes Juno-award winning drummerSkye Brooks (Fond of Tigers, Veda Hille, Ndidi Onukwulu), the sought-after singers of the Company B Jazz Band (C.R. Avery, Ben Rogers, Jaclyn Guillou), guitarist Gavin Youngash (Hilary Grist, David Ward), banjo-toting Steve Charles (Viper Central, Red Gress) and bassist James Meger (NOW Orchestra). It's an eclectic cast of heavy hitters whose not-so-secret ambition is to make you dance, dance, dance...
