SHORT BIO

Channeling the voices of the Tin Pan Alley Song book, Beverly Twist from Belles of the Levee joins forces with Absynth Quartet’s guitarist Ryan Roberts and bassist/vocalist John Ludington. “With the addition of Aleister Paige on pedal steel, the sound has never been better.”-Collin Yeo, North Coast Journal. Twist periodically switches from rhythm guitarist to banjolele, trumpet and melodica. Roberts plays a self made o-hole guitar traditionally played in jazz manouche fashion, a style made popular by early jazz guitarist, Django Reinhardt.  Ludington holds down the upright bass whilst singing close harmonies with Twist. With a mix of ‘20s and ‘30s vaudevillian style,  Brazilian jazz and country swing, Canary’s sound is bound to excite if not intrigue it’s listeners.
