"MUSIC FLIGHT" started it all for DARIN TALBOT with the breakthrough track "TWEEKER SHRED MASTER", a tune that DR. DEMENTO called "A New Legend In The Making". This epic song about a kamikaze snowboarder won an Internet song contest and secured Talbot the right to open for The Brian Setzer Orchestra at Hugh Hefner's Playboy Mansion and for the Beach Boys at Sacramento Valley Amphitheatre.

"Sharp, attractive songs about snowboarding at Lake Tahoe."
-RENO NEWS & REVIEW

"Tweeker Shred Master, the story of a young man who lives only to snowboard, already is attracting attention both locally and nationally." -RENO GAZETTE JOURNAL

"When talking with musician Darin Talbot, certain words come up in conversation over and over - Tahoe, fun and snow. Talbot's music - and his life - are permeated with these three items..."
-TAHOE MOUNTAIN NEWS

"Talbot's got Cat Steven's voice, Harry Chapin's melodies, and Jimmy Buffett's love of good times in his easy going tunes on snowboarding slacker... Talbot's good vibes are infectious."
-MEAN STREET MAGAZINE

"Bluesy pop-folk meets a distinct GenX sensibility in this Nevadan's wry tales of snowboarding dropouts, random love, country living and the musician's lot in life. Friendly and rollicking, Talbot comes off like a great beer-drinking buddy who's decided to lay down some amiable songs drawn from life."
-WILLAMETTE WEEK

"Whether melancholy or mirthful, all of Talbot's songs are, to some extent, inspired by Lake Tahoe."
-NORTH LAKE TAHOE BONANZA

"Talbot shoots straight from the heart. Some say that the days of minstrels are dead. Anyone who has experienced Darin Talbot's music would definitely differ."
-LAKE TAHOE DAILY TRIBUNE

"Talbot's slow numbers are impressive: perfect end-of-the-day, by-the-fireplace songs."
-RENO NEWS & REVIEW

"Rootsy jam-rocking songs about snowboarders. Imagine the vocalist from Blues Traveler singing along with The Other Ones about some guy on a Sims snowboard. Grinding Hammond sounds join up with tuneful guitars and traditional Americana backline to produce bouncy "extreme sport" Folk-Rock songs... the performance, melody, and soulful singing are near perfect." -LISTEN.COM

TALBOT TESTIFIES______________________________

"I grew up on the shores of Lake Tahoe and have spent 26 years here. It is a tremendous privilege and real honor to be able to write songs about the Lake. For whatever reason, when it comes to Tahoe, the inspiration filters into my fingers and my voice. Tahoe is an outdoor heaven and I want to sing about it."
-Ride Your Dreams, *DARIN TALBOT*


BIOGRAPHY_________________________________

SNOWBOARD SINGER-SONGWRITER. TAHOE'S TROUBADOUR. TWEEKER SHRED MASTER. TAHOE'S JIMMY BUFFETT...

DARIN TALBOT has been christened by the press with many monikers. Why? Because as the premiere singer-songwriter of the Sierra Nevadas, Talbot has, in effect, provided the ultimate outdoor soundtrack for the mountain sport lifestyle.

A disarming quality in Talbot's voice often has him compared to younger versions of Jimmy Buffett and James Taylor. The universal themes that run throughout his music have an inclusive tone, making it entirely accessible and appealing to fans of all ages.

As John Denver was/is an icon to the Rockies, so has Talbot become to Lake Tahoe. Using boarder phrases, lingo, and attitude in his songs, DT invites the listener to join him on the mountain. His descriptive lyrical content sends us a musical postcard, referencing snow resorts, infamous ski runs, and geographical landmarks in the area.

On his sophomore release, "TAHOE BACKCOUNTRY", Talbot makes good on the promise of his debut, "MUSIC FLIGHT" released in 1999. One song about a kamikaze young snowboarder called, "TWEEKER SHRED MASTER" captured much acclaim and national notoriety on this first release. A live version of the track, which Dr. Demento called "A New Legend In the Making", has been included here on the second.

Along with the title track of "TAHOE BACKCOUNTRY" and a live version of "TWEEKER", songs like "OLD SCHOOL RIDER", and "TAIL GRAB" round out the snowboard cuts. Fun tracks like "BLOODY MARY MORNING" and "LAZY DAYS IN TAHOE" lay claim to the festive and upbeat mountain party tradition, and reveal why D.T. undeniably 'owns his market' .

One quick spin of 'TAHOE BACKCOUNTRY' will definitely transport you there. Listen for the voice and song of an authentic troubadour whose time has truly come. Thank you for listening, and thank you for flying with AIR TAHOE RECORDS...
