New City Canyons' Recording Artist John Wilde Group To Appear at Shreveport Venue

The John Wilde Group--just signed by New York's City Canyons Records-- will appear at Sharpies in Shreveport on September 29.

(PRWEB) September 19, 2005 -- The John Wilde Group, the highly regarded British blues and rock band, appearing at Sharpies in Shreveport, Louisiana, on September 29, has just been signed to a multi-album contract by New York's City Canyons Records.

Styling itself as a record label without borders, the Manhattan based independent label has already signed several international artists including the UKs ANEMO, whose album slowburn" was released on September 6, as well as David Steele, also from the UK, and Valerian from Finland whose respective albums Underneath the Ice" and Intimations of Sorrow" were released late last year.

Also on the City Canyons roster are New York artists, Jen Elliott and Bluestruck, Timothy Dark and Sara Wendt. Wendts EP, Heres Us" is due for release next month.

The John Wilde Group, now touring the U.S., combines the edge and excitement of modern alternative rock with song-based, groove infused blues rock with a retro edge comparable to late Beatles (68/69) The Kinks, Humble Pie and Traffic mixed together with a heaping helping of the guitar and rhythm orientated, harmony laden groups of the early 70's.

Other stops coming up soon on The John Wilde Groups tour include:

9/30 6th street - Monroe LA

10/1 Barnstormers - Gonzales LA

10/6 Mardi Gras - Jackson Ms

10/7 Martin's - Jackson Ms

10/8 Martins - Birmingham Alabama

10/10 Booth - Tuscaloosa AL

10/11 Zydeco - Birmingham AL

A particularly exciting stop on the tour includes an appearance at Manhattans famous Red Lion on November 1 where the band will appear with its City Canyons label mates Jen Elliott and Timothy Dark along with some special guest stars.
