MOVING INTO COUNTRY
Pete was seen at the Gladstone Club, Northwich in 2005 (Country themed nights are held here) and it was suggested that his natural guitar style and voice would be ideal for Country music. Being soaked in all styles of music throughout his life, he draws on his country influences (i.e. Hal Ketcham, Alan Jackson, Tim McGraw, Johnny Cash, The Eagles, Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard)
He has joined forces with Alec Johnson they have been friends for many years playing together when they were younger they both went their seperate ways till they were asked to play at a local function and the reaction was so good they decided to put together TWIN FALLS DUO . Since then it has been going from strength to strength drawing on the musical life experiences the guitar playing and harmonies all done live, playing to tracks they have put together themselves
They have performed at Lydbury North Festival , Oswestry Festival, Wolvestock 17, Fort- San Antone, Heart of England Festival , Cloud 9 Festival and Clubs up and down the country to great receptions
REVIEW in CROSS COUNTRY by Brian Thornton July 2011
Twin Falls again, a duo who for me are the most talented on the circuit Pete Walker and Alec Johnson are brilliant guitarists and both have great voices and terrific harmonies The content of their programme is mostly songs not usually heard and some self penned material.They deliberately stay away from the over used material used by so many on the circuit. Pete is a fantastic guitarist but always gives pride of place to Alec who is truly amazing on guitar and when he played the instrumental Dizzy Fingers he just blew away everyone including some top musicians present who had come to see them on my recommendation. Pete sang Country Boy by Albert Lee and Alec's guitar playing was as good , if not better than, Albert Lee and that is saying a lot because Albert Lee is my idol . Everyone I spoke to was truly amazed at the guy's' performance and I can only say if festival organisers do not get these guys booked they are missing out on the best duo on the circuit
Thanks Brian for a great Review Pete and Al
Twin Falls have a CD out with thirteen tracks; three are original self penned tracks; they are currently working on a new CD that will contain all original songs by Twin Falls so we will keep you posted on that one. We are now taking bookings for next year please get in touch
