Fourway Flashers hail from Toronto, Canada and are built around the songwriting of vocalist Tom Desson. He's been writing and performing for years with outfits such as "Letters on the Phone" and "Joywood", and has now assembled a cast of characters who are total kindred spirits, musically and personally. The fact that they are recognized as amongst the most skilled and original musicians in Canada just happens to be one serious plus. Derek Downham, former front-man of the band Grindig, is a hard hitting, one-man show on the drums. Recently Derek has been drumming with The Hugh Dillon Redemption Choir and By Divine Right. On bass, there's Tim Bovaconti, a seasoned veteran of such
bands as The Lost Dakotas and The Love Cows, now often found touring the globe as guitarist for Ron Sexsmith. Checking in on guitar is Adam Faux, also a long time payer of
musical dues. Adam led popular '90s punk band Pigfarm and other credits include The Lost Dakotas and The Urban Decay Group. These guys are in major demand as players and are all accomplished singer/songwriters in their own right. Together they transform Desson's eloquent compositions into fascinatingly different musical shapes. From gentle, haunting ballads to full-blooded and invigorating guitar-led assualts, listeners can expect to be treated to songs that are both intriguing and honest.
