GP Music Promotions is proud to host this album launch .

After a lengthy break, extended by the pandemic, David Migden & The Twisted Roots are back with their unique mix of dirty blues and roots music and will be showcasing the music from their new album titled 'GET INVOLVED'.

David Migden & The Twisted Roots are an exciting electric five piece, performing unique original material in a genre-busting crossover of rock, blues and twisted American roots.

David Migden was raised in Little Rock Arkansas and moved to the UK as a teenager. After playing and touring around London and Europe, initially in the Lee Sankey Group with Matt Schofield and Ian Siegal, he then teamed up with ‘The Dirty Words’ and released ‘Second Hand Tattoo’ to a fantastic response from critics and fans alike.
Gigs across London and the Southeast followed at venues such as The Jazz Cafe, Dean Street Pizza Express, Ronnie Scott’s, the Borderline, and the American Embassy. The band members have played with many other internationally renowned artists including Robert Plant, James Brown, Corinne Bailey Rae, Matt Berry, Hamish Stuart (Average White Band), and Andy Newmark (Sly & the Family Stone, Roxy Music, John Lennon, Bowie), and have gained a reputation for putting on fantastic shows that focus on David’s incredible songs.
David Migden & The Dirty Words released their second album ‘Killing It’ in 2012 and received glowing reviews and radio play from across the globe.

The band has represented the UK in the European Blues Challenge and after the success of ' Second Hand Tattoo and 'Killing It' this was followed by 'Animal & Man'.

‘…David Migden’s resonant baritone and knack for writing intriguing melodic twists sidesteps the usual blues cliches’. Play Music Magazine
‘They have managed to successfully blend blues, funk, soul, rock with a little bit of country and come up with an original unique sound they can definitely call their own’. Rob Stanley – The Midlands Rocks Jan 2013
’Blues. Funk. Soul. Rock. The band themselves say it’s ‘twisted American roots’ and they probably know best. Either way, you can safely file under “Great Music”.’ Heritage Music UK Jan 2013
