Truckstop Coffee

www.truckstopcoffee.com www.myspace.com/truckstopcoffee With a passel of rootsy songs about whiskey, women, heartache and interstate highways Truckstop Coffee cranks out a reviving take on the road-worn genre of Americana/whatever-u-call-it rock 'n roll. Named after the powerful stuff that helps keep you between the lines on those long lonely drives, this do-it-yourself young four-piece blends overdriven tube amps, twangy guitars, and rough-hewn vocals for a vintage sound that'll break yer heart and sew it up again with steel strings. In just under three years, Truckstop Coffee has torn through more than a 150 shows ranging from Miami, FL to Knoxville, TN and they've had a whole lot of fun making good friends and gaining loyal fans as well as main-stage chops. The boys have opened up for national bands like Jimmie Van Zant, The Georgia Satellites, Unknown Hinson, The Red Elvises, 7 Mary 3, Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers, Magnolia Electric Co. (aka Songs Ohia), and John Ralston. They recently played the main stage at the '07 Florida Music Festival, and they even landed an ill-fated gig as openers for Brooks & Dunn at south Florida's Sound Advice Amphitheater (canceled due to Hurricane Wilma) and Will Hoge (canceled due to Hurricane Katrina). Through plenty of blood, sweat, and backbreak, TSC has earned a reputation for delivering honest, urgent performances everywhere they play! Discography: In addition to playing heaps of shows Truckstop Coffee also found time to record and release a five song EP in 2004, and they celebrated the indie release of their first full-length recording titled One Damn Thing To Redeem in December 2006 (now available on itunes, amazon.com, walmart.com and more). The 10-track debut is a wanderlustful journey through a blue-highway landscape of raucous roots rock and yesteryear country. It's loud overdriven guitars. It's pedal steel and fiddle. And, recorded one part in southern Florida and one part in Knoxville, Tennessee, this album of opposites is as much a documentary of where Truckstop Coffee has been as it is a road map for where they're headed. The guys are currently recording their second full-length record in Orlando, FL, and hope to release it in late summer.
