A classic fusion of blues, country, gospel and comedy, with a touch of rock & roll. It's real life, with all it's joys and sorrows. It's Rock Killough!
About Rock:
Rock has played all across the South over the years, and has a broad fan base. His original music is eclectic - country tunes, infused with touches of blues, gospel, comedy and even a little rock and roll. He sings with a lot of soul, determination and humor. He plays solo, or with a friend or two. Youtube has many videos of him, but they really don't do justice to his presence in person.
Rock’s successes includes singles by Randy Travis and Brenda Lee, two gold albums by the Oak Ridge Boys, and gold and platinum albums by Hank Williams, Jr. and Sammy Kershaw. He has a song on Hank Williams, Jr.’s infamous ‘Whiskey Bent and Hell Bound’ album, as well as cuts by Waylon Jennings, Jerry Reed, Carole King, Jerry Jeff Walker, Mickey Newbury, Johnny Rodriguez, and numer- ous others. Rock also appeared on the first “Austin City Limits” Songwriter’s Special, and has opened concerts for Willie Nelson, John Prine, and Townes Van Zandt, to name a few. He has toured with the likes of John Prine, Tracy Nelson, Delbert McClinton, David Bromberg, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, and David Allen Coe.
Mac Walter Will also be playing with Rock Killough!!
About Mac Walter:
Mac began his musical career at 15 when Marianne Price of Dan Hicks & The Hot Licks convinced him to take up guitar. With 6 CDs to his credit, he has played and toured with Johnny Winter, Roy Buchanan and Danny Gatton who are among his musical influences. His command of the guitar is breathtaking and his fingerstyle synergy leaves an audience on their feet. His repertoire is a stunning variety of musical styles and reflects the depth of emotion he conveys in his playing. He toured major jazz and blues festivals across the USA and Europe for 8 years but his favorite thing to do is to support other songwriters both as a featured sideman and as an arranger/producer. Mac lives in Foley, Alabama.
Can you recommend publicity options in Fairhope? I can offer interviews with Rock. Are there reporters from papers or magazines that you deal with all the time?
Thank you. I'll look for you in the store when I get there this afternoon.
