DETOUR BAND : racines croisées

Led by the gifted singing, impeccable playing, and honeyed harmonies of vocalists/guitarists Natalie Shelar and Jeanmarie Peschiutta, the Detour Band shimmering blend of country, americana and roots-rock made them one of the most widely acclaimed artists to emerge from the alternative country scene.

One of the most spellbinding duo in american music, Arizona singer Natalie Shelar and french guitarist Jeanmarie Peschiutta, began playing together 25 years ago and still going strong. Their musical kinship is astonishing. Like a tightrope act, the two explore the boundaries of a song, pushing at its edges while never compromising its essential nature. In the manner of great jazz duos, Natalie and Jean-Marie inspire and urge each other on, trading lead vocals,commenting and responding, streching out and digging in.

Last year they enlisted bassist Manni Hollaender, a top german guitarist and drummer Tom Engels whose various stints in bands, from blues and r&b to rock, includes touring with veteran band The Brandos.
