Rick Monroe

Vocalist and songwriter Rick Monroe mixes country, folk, Tx swing, Southern root base rock, and other things he is able to get his practical, from Celtic ballads to funky blues shuffles, into a straightforward, approachable country-pop design. It all appears like a natural development, because the Allman Brothers, Tom Petty, Jim Croce, Jimmy Reed, the Moving Stones, as well as other traditional artists shaped the soundtrack to Monroe’s years as a child as a youngster we were young in Florida. His music profession began with hard rock and roll, and he was the business lead singer for a difficult rock bar music group before learning electric guitar and songwriting, which delivered him off within a mellower, even more rootsy solo path that was nearer to his personal eyesight. Monroe started functioning the coffeehouse circuits, but extended things along with his very own band as time passes, and his relentless touring plan (frequently over 100 schedules per year) provides seen him open up for famous brands Charlie Daniels, Dwight Yoakam, Montgomery Gentry, Marshall Tucker, Darryl Worley, Eric Cathedral, Emerson Drive, Patty Loveless, Small Tx, BlackHawk, Chely Wright, Sammy Kershaw, and Billy Ray Cyrus (in addition to Miley Cyrus), amongst others, and he provides played shows over the globe, from Russia, Bosnia, Kosovo, Macedonia, and Hungary to Ecuador, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Vietnam, Hong Kong, the Bahamas, Germany, Britain, holland, and Switzerland. Tightly in charge of his very own career, he set up his very own record label, Divorce Information, in 1996, and it has released four albums for the imprint, 1997’s Legend’s Diner, 1999’s Pity, 2005’s Against the Grain, and 2012’s Crazy NEVER TO.
