Wednesday Video Spotlight: Damn Quails reach top 10 on Americana Music Chart, earn 3 Lone Star Music Award nominations
Gabriel Marshall and Bryon White of The Damn Quails has certainly ruffled a lot of feathers with the release of their debut record “Down the Hatch” on 598 Recordings. The phenomenal duo from Norman has spent the last few months basking in rave reviews that unanimously proclaim the record as one of the best to be released in 2011.
Soon after their debut on the Americana Music Chart at No. 26, “Down the Hatch” has now broken the seal on the Top 10, coming in at No. 9 this week. The record’s first single “Fools Gold” has also arrived at No. 9 on the TexNet50 Chart.
“It’s amazing to be in company with some of the folks that paved the way for us to do what we do. We are honored to help carry the torch of independent music and I am as proud as I can be of the guys I get to play with in this band,” Marshall says in a news release.
And the praise keeps on coming for this very deserving Oklahoma duo! The Damn Quails have just been nominated for three Lone Star Music Awards in the categories of Best Americana/Roots-Rock Album, Emerging Artist of the Year and Best Album Artwork. Vote for the Quails at www.lonestarmusic.com.
