OneDay40 was formed in late 2005 by four Glasgow guys seeking a new outlet for their desire to write and perform. Former members of top Scottish contemporary country band Evangeline (two UK country number one hits and regulars on the touring scene) they wanted to take their musical experiences in a new direction. Still fiercely loyal to their country roots but recognising the other influences on their musical development - think of the Eagles battling it out with Matchbox 20, or Keith Urban dueling Telecasters with Bruce Springsteen. In January 2009 longtime collaborator, muse, nurse and referee Tracey Braithwaite (formerly backing vocals for KT Tunstall) formally joined the band and they signed to Nashville's Colt Records.
The guys recorded their debut album in Glasgow's famous Park Lane Studios (Texas, Del Amitri, The Proclaimers, James Grant etc.) under the watchful eye of Paul McGeechan (formerly of Love and Money). Contributions include a duet with legendary Glasgow voice Horse, some great guitar work from famous Glasgow bluesman Alan Nimmo, and just the right enough amount of steel guitar from Zac Ware of the Proclaimers. Available for purchase at our shop on the left-hand side of this page, the CD is a great mix of contemporary and popular, country and rock, upbeat and mournful. Frequently recognised for their songwriting ability the Naismith / Matthews combination delivers yet again.
Clicking on the album cover above will take you to OneDay40 on iTunes, or you can visit the shop on the other side of the page if you'd like to buy real physical copies of the CDs.
