Tyrone Wells still sort of chuckles to himself when he thinks about the fact that making music is his “job." He has been at this “job" for well over a decade, and is just now beginning to shake off the discomfort and stress of the days when he had a real job (TJ Maxx - lead of the ladies department in Spokane, WA). As far as jobs go, Tyrone feels like he has won the lottery (in regards to his present “job”). He loves to create music. He loves to perform. He is a husband, and a father of 3 daughters. He has four sisters, so he feels right at home being completely outnumbered by the ladies in his present household (and also when he was the lead of the ladies dept at TJ Maxx). He believes that Jesus is for real. He’s writing this bio. He’s referring to himself in the third person. He knows that this bio has a ring of sarcasm, but he is dead serious. He feels extremely grateful. He jokes around, but he has worked very hard at making music his “job." He has spent countless hours writing, recording, playing live, and traveling to play live again. He has spent time away from his beloved family to make this thing a reality. He has never really experienced much radio success, so his fans have been gained the old fashioned way, by pouring his heart out on a stage, and by word of mouth. He feels certain that he will make music until his dying day, as it is not only gratifying for him to create, but also therapeutic and necessary. He can’t believe you’re still reading this… if you are still reading this, he wants to thank you for taking the time to do so, and for supporting what he does. He knows it would be impossible without you.

Chase Rice & Russell Dickerson

Thursday, January 3rd
Doors 7pm  Show 8pm
$8 Advance $10 Day of Show

All Ages

 

Chase Rice, a Carolina reared, good-times tunesmith must be dripping adrenaline from beneath his backwards ball cap as he’s always at full throttle both on and off the stage. “That guy you see on stage having the time of his life is the same guy you get behind the scenes.  Some artists turn on a switch and you’re like ‘where did that come from?’ but for me --- this is it. I’m a ball cap and t-shirt guy to the core."

From the modest pews of a West Tennessee church to the gleaming stages of Music City, twenty-five year old Russell Dickerson was destined to make his way to the spotlight. With a musical family background and the natural ability to entertain, Dickerson discovered his love for country music when his family moved to Nashville at the age of ten.

The recording of This Love found Tyrone Wells in the studio on and off throughout most of 2012. Tyrone teamed up again with producer, Michael "Smidi" Smith.  About This Love, Tyrone says, "I did my best to make a mostly acoustic record. I always find myself listening to acoustic music, so I did my best to build the record around the acoustic guitar and make an organic sounding CD that I would enjoy listening to."

Old Rock House makes first announcement of the year

Now time to announce a bunch of shows!

Shawn Mullins
The Listening Room Series
Wednesday, February 22nd
Doors 7pm Show 8pm
$30 Reserved $20 General Admission
All Ages

Since we last heard from Shawn Mullins on 2008’s honeydew, the Atlanta-based singer/songwriter and bandleader has undergone a series of transformative experiences, leading to a second coming for the veteran artist. Evidence of Mullins’ newfound level of musical and lyrical ambition courses comes through with Light You Up (Vanguard Records, Oct. 12). This captivating new song cycle will likely be viewed as a flat-out revelation even by Mullins’ most fervent fans. His experiences included an indoctrination into the collaborative creative process by numerous bouts of intensive co-writing, in one instance putting him atop of the country charts via a key contribution to the Zac Brown Band’s “Toes,” marking his third #1 single, following 1999’s “Lullaby” and the 2006 Triple A/Americana chart-topper “Beautiful Wreck.” Further co-writing yielded nine of the 11 songs on the new album, which Mullins believes represents the strongest, most expressive writing of his distinguished career. All of this creative activity was topped off by the birth of Shawn’s first child, Murphy, in August of 2009.


Ruthie Foster & Paul Thorn
Soul Salvation Tour
Thursday, March 29th
Doors 7pm Show 8pm
$20 Advance $23 Day of Show
All Ages

Ruthie Foster and Paul Thorn have taken their careers to new heights with their most recent releases:  Ruthie’s new, deeply intimate recording ‘Let It Burn’ and Paul’s June 2010 release, ‘Pimps & Preachers.’  But it is their live shows that have really established Ruthie and Paul as two of America’s freshest and finest performers.  Perhaps it’s the shared experience of the lively church music of their youth that has made them such compelling entertainers.  Ruthie sang in church as a child and Paul was raised the son of a Pentacostal preacher.  Whatever the reason, their songs of humanity and redemption have earned them enthusiastic fans and high praise from press, promoters and fans alike.

“Where We Meet” has captured both the charm of Tyrone Wells wistful serenades and the weight and yearning of an artist who continues to grow.  Spending the greater part of 2011 bouncing between Los Angeles and Nashville, Tyrone Wells was able to take the time to write tirelessly until he knew that he finally had the album he wanted.  From sweeping productions to paired down, sparse tunes, “Where We Meet” carefully navigates a sonic landscape that is powerfully rich yet intimate and honest.
