Sidestepping the customary Blues-cliches, David Migden & The Twisted Roots are an exciting electric five piece, performing unique original material in a genre-busting crossover of Blues, Rock and twisted American Roots music. David Migden was raised in Little Rock, Arkansas, USA, moving to the UK as a teenager. After playing and touring around England and continental Europe, initially in the Lee Sankey Group with Matt Schofield and Ian Siegal, he then teamed up with The Dirty Words, releasing "Second Hand Tattoo," their debut album, to an excellent response from critics and fans alike. David Migden and his band, by now renamed Twisted Roots - more adequately reflecting their distinctive melting pot genre of music - released their follow-up album "Killing It" in 2012, once again receiving lustrous reviews in the relevant media and radio play across the globe. The members of The Twisted Roots have each individually played with a host of internationally renowned artists including Robert Plant, James Brown and Corinne Bailey Rae, and have gained a reputation for playing exhilarating shows. His range and tone both astonishing; David Migden is justifably regarded as one of the best male vocalists of contemporary Blues music! David Migden & The Twisted Roots won the prestigious New Brunswick "Battle of the Blues" appeared at the Harvest Jazz and Blues Festival in Canada in Sept 2013, and were nominated in the British Blues Awards for best original song ("Shel"), and twice in a row, 2013 and 2014, in the category best singer. The band also won both Best Band and Best Newcomer in the "Blues Matters" writers' poll of 2013. As a result they were chosen to represented the UK at European Blues Challenge 2104 in Riga, Latvia in April 2014, were they won third place. In Riga they were noticed by Alfie Falckenbach of Blues Boulevard Records, and in the following months an agreement was reached for wolrdwide release of their third album of self-penned songs: "Animal And Man."
