Rick Monroe Is Rodeo Bound - New Single Ready To Release

Nashville, TN (Rick Monroe Official Website) - Singer/songwriter RICK MONROE truly embodies the art of connecting with audiences of all backgrounds through his fresh approach to songwriting and exciting live performances. His distinctive sound of country, blues, rock and soul can be found on his second single, 'I Remember The Music,' written by Ashley Gorley/Wade Kirby, being shipped to radio this week. The single can also be found on Promo Only, Musicrypt and CDX.

Monroe said, ''I Remember The Music' grabbed me from the first listen as a song I wish I had written. While listening all I could think of was memories of my friends and I in Florida having barn parties out in the cow fields.'

Monroe's album, Against The Grain, reflects his life experience and growth from being a seasoned performer with a special blend of contemporary and classic country, a dash of southern roots rock and a twist of Texas swing. The album, produced by several producers including Clyde Brooks, Craig Bartock, Jeff Marshall, Kurt Fries and Rick Monroe, was recorded at various studios in different states. The first single released, 'Midnight Rider,' a cover of the Allman Bros, garnered impressive reviews from Billboard, Music Row as well as the video debuting on "Extra" and "Wide Open Country" on CMT.

With his extensive touring history, both domestically and internationally, Monroe holds an impressive list of countries where he has performed such as: Russia, Bosnia, Kosovo Macedonia, Hungry, Honduras, Ecuador, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Bahamas, Germany and England—just to name a few.
