Biography
[edit | edit source]Before the foundation of Rushlow, lead vocalist Tim Rushlow was lead singer of the band Little Texas. In 1997, when they disbanded, Tim Rushlow left for a solo career. His first cut was the musical track "Totally Committed" on comedian Jeff Foxworthy's 1998 album of the same name. Tim Rushlow signed to Atlantic Records in 2000, charting the Top Ten single "She Misses Him" that year. Other singles from his self-titled debut album, however, failed to make Top 40, due in part to the closure of his label in 2001.[1] He formed the group Rushlow after deciding that he was not made for a solo career, saying: "I did some shows and I had a band and a bus, but I never felt real comfortable as the Tim Rushlow solo guy with this band that was not named, that was just sort of 'Tim's backup band.' It just never really felt right."[1]
One of the group's first members was Rushlow's cousin Doni Harris, who had previously sung backing vocals on his solo album. Later, Rushlow and Harris had spotted Kurt Allison, as well as Allison's roommates Rich Redmond and Tully Kennedy, all of whom were backing another singer at a bar, and eventually Billy Welch was added to the lineup as well.[1][2] The group was signed to Lyric Street Records, on the condition that they assume the name Rushlow and perform as a self-contained band, with no additional studio musicians.[3] The lead-off single, "I Can't Be Your Friend", was a Top 20 country hit in 2003, and the group also entertained U.S. troops in Bahrain, Germany, Italy and Spain.[4] The song served as the lead-off to Rushlow's debut album Right Now, which produced only one more chart single on the country charts.
2006–2007: Rushlow Harris
[edit | edit source]In 2006, Rushlow and Harris recorded as the duo Rushlow Harris. The duo signed to Show Dog Nashville, a label owned by country singer Toby Keith.[5] Working with producer Christy DiNapoli and Derek Bason, the duo released two singles but no album.[6] In 2017, Rushlow founded the Frontmen with Richie McDonald and Larry Stewart, respectively the former lead singers of Lonestar and Restless Heart.
Kennedy, Allison, and Redmond joined Jason Aldean's road band.[7] They, along with David Fanning, also formed the production team New Voice Entertainment, which has produced for Thompson Square. Welch became the keyboardist in Jake Owen's road band.[8]
