About Me

Tagline: it's time to shine
Me, Myself, and I: “It’s time to shine, this time it's mine” are the lyrics that not only lead off, but define the new album Palace and Stage from Dusty Rhodes and the River Band. In stores May 19, 2009 on SideOneDummy Records, Palace and Stage, is the band’s sophomore album, bringing with it a new batch of adventures, characters, sing-a-longs and stories. The band successfully blends Modern Rock, Gospel, Motown, and Folk to showcase a sound that is as accessible as it is original.
The group’s music defies easy categorization but boasts the freewheeling approach that draws natural comparisons to Arcade Fire, The Decemberists and “Exile On Main St”- era Rolling Stones. The band has toured the States with Gogol Bordello, I’m From Barcelona, Flogging Molly and Blind Melon among others, and most recently in the UK with Dirty Pretty Things. In 2008, Q Magazine dubbed the band one of the “Next Big Things” and named the single “Dear Honey” from their debut album as one of the “50 Songs To Download”.
