The John Wilde Group--just signed by New York's City Canyons Records-- will appear at Tubbys in Monteagle on September 23 and at Barleys Taps Room in Knoxville, on September 24
(PRWEB) September 15, 2005 -- The John Wilde Group, the highly regarded British blues and rock band, appearing at Tubbys in Monteagle, Tennessee on September 23 and at Barleys Taps Room in Knoxville, on September 24, 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.

9/29 Sharpies - Shreveport LA
9/30 6th street - Monroe LA
10/1 Barnstormers - Gonzales LA
