   Runway 27, Left wins The Akademia Music

   From: sunofmusic@gmail.com   
      
   With critical coverage by German magazine 'Der Folker', playing their first   
   concerts in Switzerland and two of their performances filmed full length by   
   Austrian TV station Servus TV, 2015 was a fairly successful year for Runway   
   27, Left. Receiving their    
   first award ever, The Akademia Music Award for Best Blues Song in the January   
   2016 Akademia Music Awards, the new year sees the acoustic blues duo make a   
   head start. On the winning song, The Akademia thinks that "Aptly titled,   
   'Tex-Mex Food And Texas    
   Blues' combines easy lyrical stylings with a cool electric guitar riff to   
   create a great anthem for any merry bar scene."   
      
   On their current album 'Friends And Catfish', Lukas Weber of Planet.tt   
   Magazine from Vienna, Austria, says that "Half of the album was recorded at   
   historic Sun Studio in Tennessee, the other half in Berlin; the result is   
   something to be proud of (to    
   listen to). Editor's picks: 'Blue Sunday' & 'Talking To Myself'."   
      
   Radio personality Josep Palmada of the Red Hot Blues Radio Show on Radio   
   Vilafant from Spain thinks that 'Runway 27 Left from Vienna (Austria) show a   
   very personal approach to the blues. It's a duo consisting of Anthony 'Tone'   
   Kammerhofer and Erich '   
   Weissfeder' Brandl, mainly influenced by blues, country, Rock'n Roll, Zydeco   
   and Bluegrass. Their second album 'Friends And Catfish' was recorded in the   
   USA and Europe, and all songs on the album are original songs. It's great   
   work.'   
      
   With more than 80 performances from 2011 to 2015 in Germany, Austria and   
   Switzerland, acoustic duo Runway 27, Left's first album 'Weekend Warriors' was   
   released on their label 'Weissfeder Records' in March 2012. The harbinger of   
   their first album, radio-   
   only release 'Flawed & Flattened', had already gathered radio airplay in the   
   UK, the USA, Spain, The Netherlands, Australia, Germany, Austria and Macedonia.   
      
   Eventually, April and May 2012 saw their first, brief guest appearances upon   
   invitation by local artists in Memphis, TN, and New Orleans, LA. February 2013   
   saw them back in Memphis, TN, for recording their first few songs for their   
   upcoming second album    
   at historic Sun Records Studio, further enhancing their strong bond with St.   
   Blues Guitar Workshop, too. The second part of their second album was recorded   
   in September 2013 at Tonbrauerei Studios in Berlin, Germany. In January 2016,   
   Runway 27, Left    
   received the Akademia Music Awards for Best Blues Song for 'Tex-Mex Food &   
   Texas Blues'. Both albums, 'Weekend Warriors' and 'Friends And Catfish' are   
   available on all respective download platforms worldwide.   
      
   Runway 27, Left is a blues project having former Trans Am/Sun Luca/Run Riot   
   bass player Erich 'White Feather' Brandl and My Other Brother lead vocalist   
   Anthony 'Tone' Kammerhofer team up.   
   The musicians (Erich Brandl - guitars, bass, backing vocals and Anthony   
   Kammerhofer - lead vocals, rhythm guitars) try to reconnect with the roots of   
   pop and rock music, calling their style 'In-Blues Entertainment'.
