Their winning pitch:

The Divorcees are the hard liquor sandwich of Americana 1 shot Jagger (Cash) 1 shot Tequila (Willie) 1 shot Whiskey (Waylon)

Here is some more about them: "Those who prefer their roots music raw with a little lap steel twang   on the side really need to check out New Brunswick outlaw country hooligans the Divorcees. The Johnny Cash- and Waylon Jennings-inspired   tunes on their You Ain't Gettin' My Country (Haysale) should give you a good idea of what these shit-kickin' hombres are all about – hardcore honky-tonkin' and haulin' ass."

Congratulations guys!  

We are looking forward to working your May 2009 release "Last of The Free Men"

Bio: The Divorcees

The Story Of The Divorcees resonates with a lot of younger music fans   who have made a return to their country roots. Alex Madsen, Danny Roy, Denis "Turtle" Arsenault, Brock Gallant, and   Jason "J Byrd" Nicholson  came up in the maritime music scene having   played in rock, punk, funk, grunge, and even metal bands. But their love of country was always just under the surface. Like many of their maritime friends and family, the back porch was a   prime spot to dig out their flattops and belt out the songs of their honky tonk heroes at the top of their lungs. It was only a matter of time before the five like-minded small towners gravitated to each others gigs, parties and barbeques.

By 2005, that coalesced into what is now the The Divorcees. In a matter of months, rock and roll friends and more than a few die-  hard country folk started filling the bars they were playing. Before   long, they were at The East Coast Music Awards, bringing their brand   of "country" country to an even larger audience. In the making of their first album (You Ain't Getting My Country) they   had re-discovered a precious part of themselves and were eager to   share it. So, the band hit the road. The same thing happened;   generations of country fans as well as rock and rollers packed in to   see their rowdy, old-school outlaw country show from coast to coast. Before they knew it, they had crossed the country numerous times,   sharing stages with people like George Canyon, Johnny Reid, Tim McGraw   and Faith Hill, Tim Hus, Corb Lund, Aaron Pritchett, and a host of new   found friends. Casey Clarke was wearing their tour shirts on CMT...and   playing The Divorcees first video for "Red Haired Red Blooded Woman". Then, in 2008, the East Coast Music Association awarded them Country   Album Of The Year in Alex Madsen's hometown of Fredericton - a   grateful moment of validation after three years of hard work and hard touring.

As of 2009, The Divorcees have completed and are preparing to release   their sophmore album, titled "Last Of The Free Men", produced Josh   Finlayson (The Skydiggers) at the Tragically Hip's Bathouse. They were   also thrilled to have their second record mixed at the legendary   Blackbird Studios in Nashville (using components originally found at   Abbey Road) and mastered by Richard Dodd, associated with artists such   as Johnny Cash and Tom Petty. The Divorcees love the road, so it's no surprise that they're   currently on a Western tour of Canada for the month of March,   immediately followed by an April tour through Ontario. When that winds   up, they'll head home for regional touring through New Brunswick, Nova   Scotia, PEI, and Newfoundland. The group's excited to tour their way to the Canadian Country Music   Awards in Vancouver at the end of the summer and are raring to cross   the border to bring their brand of outlaw country to their American   friends. For The Divorcees, the next show always beckons.
