THE UNION is a new band formed by LUKE MORLEY, formerly the guitarist for legendary UK rock band THUNDER and ex WINTERVILLE vocalist/guitarist PETER SHOULDER.
THUNDER disbanded in July this year after their most successful UK tour in their twenty-year history culminated in an emotional sold out show at Hammersmith Apollo.
PETER SHOULDER is one of only three British artists (the other two being Eric Clapton and Peter Green) to win a W.C. Handy Blues Foundation award, presented in Memphis in 2006 for co-writing the American Blues Song of the year 2006
LUKE; ?I met Pete eight years ago and I knew instantly that he had an unbelievable voice that could really move people. He?s also a very impressive guitar player. We?ve worked together ever since whenever our previous commitments allowed us time. When THUNDER decided to call it a day earlier in the year, working with Pete was the most obvious next move for me. It felt like we?d been heading that way for a while so I wasn?t about to fight it! The songs we?ve written so far cover a wider musical territory than THUNDER and it?s a wonderful thing for me to be co-writing with someone after so many years of being locked up in a room on my own!?
PETE; ?Working with Luke has always been a pleasure. Whenever we get together it is always a very creative, free and inspiring experience. It?s an exciting thing to be working on something new with someone who has already had such an illustrious career to date. It all feels very natural.?
THE UNION are currently somewhere deep in the English countryside devoting themselves to the songwriting process and expect to emerge later in the year to perform their debut shows. The album promises to be a inspired mix of blues infused rock featuring the stunning and unique vocals of Peter Shoulder.
