ABOUT DARIN TALBOT

It all began in 1999 when Darin Talbot's song "Tweeker Shred Master" from his debut CD "MUSIC FLIGHT" won BEST NEW SONG honors at one of the first online music festivals; this secured Talbot an invitation to hang with Hef, perform at the PLAYBOY MANSION and open for THE BRIAN SETZER ORCHESTRA. That same summer Bill Graham Presents tapped Talbot to open on the small stage for THE BEACH BOYS at Sacramento Valley Ampitheatre.

In 2001, with his sophmore effort "TAHOE BACKCOUNTRY", Talbot returned with more songs about snowboarding. This disc aired nationally on Radio Disney, Dr. Demento and on the All Star Radio Network... it also saturated the local market. Soon thereafter, Talbot was voted Lake Tahoe ACTION's * BEST LOCAL MUSICIAN * for two consecutive years in a row.

In 2003, Air Tahoe released Talbot's 3rd full length "BIG AIR". Both the title track and his song 'Ski Bum' were well received at AAA Radio. The updated ska version of 'Tweeker' was again featured on Dr. Demento.

DARIN TALBOT'S band SHREDMASTER also debuted that year and was featured nationally in SKI PRESS MAGAZINE at every ski resort in America. The band performed at the Sacramento Ski & Snowboard Expo, ski resorts, casinos and clubs. They were then invited by KTHX-FM 'THE X' to open for Harry Chapin's daughter JEN CHAPIN at the The X's 'Rollin On The River' summer concert series at Wingfield Amphitheater in Reno, Nevada.

In 2006, Warren Miller Films tapped Talbot's ska version of 'Tweeker Shred Master' for use in the ski and snowboard film titled OFF THE GRID. For 2007, DT has written more than 30 songs for his 4th & 5th releases due out this year. Transcendent and universal song themes about life and love have replaced his homages to Tahoe and snowboarding.
