Direct from Romania, the Transylvanian blues band NIGHTLOSERS make their first-ever Canadian concert appearances.
Stretching the limits of American blues, R&B, Romanian folk and traditional Gypsy music, Romania's NIGHTLOSERS have created one of the most original sounds from Europe today.
Formed in 1994 by film director & musician Hanno Höfer in Cluj, Transylvania, NIGHTLOSERS is a Romanian blues-ethno-rock band famed for their ability to find common roots between American blues, Irish country-rock, and authentic Eastern Europe folk music. Their sound is a well-measured blend of passion, subtle self-irony, and technical expertise on electric guitars, gypsy violin, harmonica, and the worlds first professional 'leaf' player (leaf as in blade of grass) - all packaged together with a good dose of Transylvanian temper.
