  • Bio

    Forged in the fires of quixotic ambition; tempered in the ruthless grind of urban chagrin. The seed of Rainy Day Manual is germinated by one thought, "To make others happy, you must first make yourself happy." In 2005, two songwriters in Memphis, TN took the hope of creating a unique, authentic sound and began to recruit kindred spirits. Rainy Day Manual frontmen, Chris Faulkner and Seth Hendricks, knew that if they were to form a true band capable of developing this thought that they would have a long journey ahead. The journey always continues.... but the path became much clearer in 2007 when, after rounds of collaborative misfires, the two finally merged with a dynamic rhythm section consisting of Keith Pounds and Preston Ross. The foursome took a cerebral approach to combining fiercely melodic music with expressive rhythms that harkened to the hip-hop and blues roots of Memphis music. Then, after years of exploration the quartet began sculpting a relationship with two sound engineers, Jason Gillespie and Mike Wilson, that would route the artisitic endeavor through to fruition. The beautiful part is that multitudes of Memphians have inspired the result that you are able to now enjoy and without that support Rainy Day Manual would not exist as it does today. They hope to tell the story of a city. A city that needs love and has love to offer. They want to show you that vibrant roots surely grow in dark places. ....

Bio:



Out of Memphis TN, comes a much anticipated four piece known as Rainy Day Manual. The band started as singer/ songwriters Chris Faulkner (Antique Curtains) and Seth Hendricks (This is Goodbye, Fireworks Over London) began collaborating in their musical endeavors and writing styles. Seth and Chris went through several rhythm section members until finding the right match with bassist Keith Pounds and drummer Preston Ross, who seem to fit perfectly in the "pocket,” rhythmically speaking. With the addition of Preston and Keith, brought together in the spring of 2007, the band that is now Rainy Day Manual began honing a diverse sound that keeps its audience moving and provides a very uplifting, energetic and unique live experience. With an idea of the sound, here is a quote from the band... "Our music is based largely on melodic songwriting; both instrumentally and vocally. This is only brought to life by an extremely tight, dynamic, creative, and poetic rhythm section. We place no limits on our song structures. Each piece we create has its own personality and mood that can incorporate several styles of music into one song."

The idea is to always keep you guessing.
