WINDFALL –a Dutch
country band- is still going
strong after more than 25 years on the road.
The band was founded in 1977 when the Rock & Roll band The Shaking
Spiders from Oudewater (NL) decided to stop and some members still had the
intention in making different kind of music.
After a few hard years
they joined the talent contest at the (at that time) famous
country-festival in Uden, and they won the first price..
Original and spontaneity were
the facts, decisive for the jury.
After countless gigs in clubs, festivals, TROS-radio, KRO-radio, Veronica
television en several local radio stations, in 1994 they released their
first album "No Covers", an album with only own-written country
repertoire.
From that period until
now Windfall released 4 CD’s from which some of the songs were
re-released by the American Comstock label.
One of these tracks, Steppin' on a Satuarday Night, reached the American
Country Review Top 40 nr 4 in the charts).
Because of their various repertoire -modern country music with once and a
while a little side step to the sixties - Windfall is one of the most
popular country bands in Holland and Belgium.
