Witchitaw

Annapolis Valley, NS

Witchitaw is a southern country rock band of experienced musicians from Nova Scotia, Canada. Witchitaw’s members are no strangers to writing, recording and performing music around the world. Four of the group’s members enjoyed a great deal of success for eight years with the Canadian show-band, Country Generations. Brothers Jason and Jamie Spinney, keyboardist Frank Dobbin and bass player Terry Salsman, recorded four CDs in Nashville with Country Generations.  They also toured Canada, the U.S.A., and even Australia in 2004. As those successful tours came to a close the idea of the group Witchitaw was born. After adding guitarist Paul Browner in 2006 to the band’s roster, Witchitaw began performing high profile gigs as early as 2007. Unfortunately, Frank Dobbin retired from active touring in 2009. However, guitarist Jason Burns and keyboardist Dohn Kendall joined the group in early 2010 to complete Witchitaw’s current roster of musicians.

Witchitaw released their first CD, Walk Like A King, in 2009. The CD was recorded in Nashville at Hilltop Studios in January 09. The 10 song CD features 6 songs written by the group, 3 songs written by Nashville writers and the classic cover song, “Ghost Riders In The Sky” – performed Witchitaw style!

 

There is an edge to their music that is current yet their sound is unique. Witchitaw manages to blend southern rock with “new” country and even a touch of the blues. Their live show comes out …
