ABOUT CHASING TWISTERS

Chasing Twisters combine their British pop and rock upbringings with their favourite American country influences to create their own twist of original modern country music.

After 4 attempts to bring together a band of like-minded players, former Tara’s Secret guitarist/songwriter Craig Chapman linked up with singer/bass player Laura Holden in October 2021 bringing together their original songs and finding similar influences including Matchbox 20, Ashley McBryde, Lady A and Sheryl Crow.

Finalising the line up with Pat Wright on guitar, Dave Deaville on keys, and Craig Cope on drums, the band quickly polished a set of original songs for local gigs around Staffordshire, before recording a 5 track EP in Summer 2022.

"Fantastic versatile band with great energy. Guaranteed to keep a country crowd happy." Sarah Riches

CRITICAL ACCLAIM

Debut EP "You're Melting Me" was well received, gaining airplay on local, national and international mainstream and country radio shows, including single of the week on Crewe's Cat Radio.

"If you like guitar-led country-rock... you’ll love the music of Chasing Twisters." Johnny Brick, A Country Way of Life

The band are passionate about promoting the UK country music scene and hosted their own country and Americana songwriters night which attracted acts from near and far. In September 2023 they organised Cheshire's first country music festival featuring performances from Adele And Andy, Chloe Chadwick, Lisa T and more.

"Chasing Twisters are a band that introduced me and my music back into the local Americana scene last year. I have a lot of respect for bands that not only push themselves but help out others too which is important in today’s grassroots scene." Chloe Chadwick

A full album is under way, and the band's current single One Way Ticket is available now. The band appeared at the UK Country Radio Awards after being nominated for Best UK Country Group this September.

"I really thought you'd take home the gong for best group - you absolutely deserved it...particularly after your cracking live performance. Looking forward to hearing more from you." Anthony O'Neill and the Murder

Our new single One Way Ticket is out now!
