   About ROSCO


My profile was customized using the Taming the Beast.net MySpace Layout Generator

Rosco is a common working class act, at a common working class price, yet there's not one thing common about Rosco. If he doesn't make it prime time, there's something wrong with the world ~Robin Allen Campus Activities Magazine

"My friends, we are Rosco" Rosco - the Man AND the Band - dips, dreams, and drives the crowd to a dance craze with meaningful lines and soulful, metered melodies that make you move. As a performer, Rosco-the-Man gives people everything he has, nonstop, from start to finish at each performance.

"I believe," Rosco states, "to make someone dance is one thing, to capture their mind is another."

Born in Fort Madison, Iowa, Rosco-the-Man has been steadily touring since the age of 14. In 1992, Rosco-the-Band formed in Atlanta, Georgia, and started spreading their soulful, "make your body move," feel-good tunes all over the Southeast.

In 1996, Rosco recorded their first full-length studio album, "Coming For Your Mind," at Capricorn Studios in Macon, Georgia, which they followed up with extensive touring, each night turning on first-time listeners and gaining loyal fans.

In 1998, Rosco performed at the National Association of Campus Activities Conference in Houston, Texas, where they surpassed more than 800 bands to make the top 25 cut. And with the 1998 release of their second, nine-track album, "Flatwood," Rosco continued to build their fan-base.

From 1996 through 2001, Rosco sold over 10,000 copies of each of their first two albums and toured an average of 200 to 250 dates a year, both as a headliner and opener for bands such as The Spin Doctors, Sister Hazel, and Edwin McCain. And regardless of his place on the bill, Rosco's powerful vocals and stage presence often took the most subdued crowds and transformed them in to a dancing frenzy.

Late in 2000, Rosco the man decided to take a break from the road and relocate to Nashville to fine-tune his writing skills and move closer to his roots in the Midwest. "But there was more to the Nashville connection," adds Rosco. "As I worked on 'smalltown values' and my own songwriting skills, I found myself meeting some of Nashville's best players and writers. These are the people who helped to enhance my songwriting. Ultimately, they've helped me get back to who I am and tap into my smalltown experience and values."

"So, here I am," says Rosco. "It's a big circle: going away from home, moving up in the world, working to go higher, only to find that the best thing to do is land and get back to yourself. I'm a guy with small town values." He smiles,"I'm picking up where I left off, and I'm on a really great ride. It has been a long and interesting trip back to 'smalltown values'."

Rosco-the-Man continued working with his new musical friends to further develop his songwriting skills, and the newly-configured Rosco-the-Band started playing around Nashville. They found an always growing and everlasting fanbase at Windows on the Cumberland in downtown Nashville, and played there on a regular basis until it closed down.

When talking to Rosco about the reemergence of his live show and the new songs he's perfoming, there's an impatient, nervous sense that he'd really rather sing his answers to questions, as he feels more at home on stage than anywhere else in the world. "I'm dying to be back on tour, to get on stage, and to turn it on! That's what I love. That's what I was meant to do."

Your friend Angie Aparo comes to SC. You two should make a road trip, buddy-movie style.

(I'm thinking one of you should probably learn kung fu first, or maybe get really fat. I'm pretty sure that's how these things work.)
