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. A group of seasoned professionals whose bios include multiple Canadian Country Music Awards, Juno nominations, and resumes that span from Gordon Lightfoot, to John Cowan to George Canyon, to Kellylee Evans. The success of their debut album brought their music to people all around the world. Now The WSA is preparing to record and release their second album, which is sure to create a buzz in the music world once again.
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.
Since the release of the album in July 2010, The Western Swing Authority has enjoyed great reviews and radio airplay in 17 different countries including Canada and The US.
