BIO
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 hard-working young four-piece blends overdriven tube amps, telecaster twang, 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 100 shows and 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, 7 Mary 3, The Red Elvises, 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). Through plenty of blood, sweat, beer and backbreak, TSC has earned a reputation for delivering honest, urgent performances everywhere they play!
One Damn Thing To Redeem
In addition to playing heaps of shows Truckstop Coffee also found time to record and release a five song EP in 2004, and they just celebrated the indie release of their first full-length recording titled One Damn Thing To Redeem in December 2006 (now available on itunes). 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.
What they say..."Call it alt-country, Americana, roots-rock -- whatever. It's good music, period, whether you're on the road to El Paso or on the subway to Manhattan." - Jason Budjinsky - New Times
“Truckstop Coffee plants one foot in country and another one firmly in rock... The quartet revels in the rapid-fire, rockin' side of alt-country.” – Dan Sweeney - City Link Magazine
"One of the most striking things about Truckstop Coffee is that it's easy to see each member is having a blast on stage. Stein, James, Orow and drummer Venny Portalatin are having a great time, playing music they like and feeding off the energy of their growing audiences." - Audra Hodges - Live On Stage Magazine
Named the “Best Country Act - 2005" in southern Florida by City Link Magazine
