Roots/Indie Rock in the spirit of Blues Traveler and the Wallflowers
Bio / Background
Starting in 1999, songwriters Graham Perry and Kevin Kilgore joined with guitarist Sam Plumlee, drummer Bill Frazier, and Bassist Steve Hearn to form Tucson Simpson, a band whose style is an eclectic mix of Delta Blues, Commercial Pop and Southern Rock. The band has enjoyed success on the Memphis club circuit predominantly as a headline act.
Drawing from experience acquired as a songwriter for Crutchfield Music, Perry (a PhD Candidate at The University of Memphis) penned a number of tunes for the band, six of which appeared on Martin Crutchfield's self-titled album released in the Spring of 2001. Kilgore (who wrote the premiere track off of the band's EP "Drawn & Ready") and the other members contributed their own writing expertise to create a musical style that can fittingly be called Delta Rock.
The result of this collaboration is the Tucson Simpson's new CD Hot Town.
↓ more ↓The band's first full-length effort is a well-rounded collection of powerful electric and acoustic guitars, soulful melodies, and catchy hooks that resonate the varying life-experiences of the musicians.
The album is a watershed for the band-members after losing Plumlee who died after recording his signature lead on "The Money Ain't There" in mid-record. With a renewed sense of purpose, the band persevered with the help of Jeff Miller (Survivor) and Terry Ferguson (Hoehn & Duren) on some of the most heart-wrenching tracks on Hot Town.
The album was the #14 add in the CMJ charts in its debut week, enjoying early airplay on college and independent stations KAFM (Grand Junction, CO), KRCX (Denver, CO), Bearcast (Cincinnatti, OH), WQAC (Alma, MI), KFSF (San Fran., CA), KDWG (Dillon, MT), KMSM (Butte, MT), KRZA (Alamosa, CO), WDCC (Sanford, NC), WMHB (Waterville, ME), WODU (Norfolk, VA), WWEC (Elizabethtown, PA), WRSE (Chicago, IL), WRST (Oshkosh, WI), WSND (Notre Dame, IN), KRVS (LaFayette, LA), WODU (Norfolk, VA), WGKR (Jersey City, NJ), KUMD (Duluth, MN), WKWZ (Syosset, NY), and KUCO (Edmond, OK), to name only a handful of the over 125 adds it has enjoyed nationwide.
