Fourway Flashers hail from Toronto, Canada and are built around the songwriting of vocalist Tom Desson. He's been writing and performing for years with outfits such as "Letters on the Phone" and "Joywood", and has now assembled a cast of characters who are total kindred spirits, musically and personally. The fact that they are recognized as amongst the most skilled and original musicians in Canada just happens to be one serious plus. Derek Downham, former front-man of the band Grindig, is a hard hitting, one-man show on the drums. Recently Derek has been drumming with The Hugh Dillon Redemption Choir and By Divine Right. On bass, there's Tim Bovaconti, a seasoned veteran of such
bands as The Lost Dakotas and The Love Cows, now often found touring the globe as guitarist for Ron Sexsmith. Checking in on guitar is Adam Faux, also a long time payer of
musical dues. Adam led popular '90s punk band Pigfarm and other credits include The Lost Dakotas and The Urban Decay Group. These guys are in major demand as players and are all accomplished singer/songwriters in their own right. Together they transform Desson's eloquent compositions into fascinatingly different musical shapes. From gentle, haunting ballads to full-blooded and invigorating guitar-led assualts, listeners can expect to be treated to songs that are both intriguing and honest.
I love your music and your songs, how can I not love "Mary's Done" in particular since my name is Mary!
Tim, I met you quite some time ago when I was just starting out almost two years ago with my association with Joshua Bartholomew and when I went to C'est What a few times. Its great to see your name on this profile.
I have added your band to the list of Toronto bands on my website and hyperlinked your MySpace and website, you can find the link on the front page at the top. I hope it helps to spread the word about your music.
All the best, I hope to see you around town sometime! Keep in touch.
Much Love, Mary-Elizabeth Gilbert (Mary) Creator & Founder Meg-a Music Toronto “Live your dreams, don’t just dream them…” www. megamusictoronto. com

Whats poppin' fourwayFLASHERS.....With Yesterday being Mothersday, I wanted to share this video of Tupac Shakur performing "Dear Mama" with you....Though 'Pac made tons of great hits, my personal favorite of his is "Dear Mama"...2Pac's brilliant opus to his mother touched me in a way that no other rap song has. 'Pac pours his soul into the track and the lyrics resanate forever:
