Following the release of his new album 'Backroad Symphony', back in May we introduced you to Nashville artist Dee Rock (Track Of The Day) and the good news is that Dee is coming to the UK to tour next month, including Ilfracombe Rocks on Friday 1st, followed by two London gigs at The Bedford on 5th and The Dublin Castle on 7th. Rock's Lone Star roots run deep, tracing his family from the time of Davy Crockett and Jim Bowie at the Alamo, to today. Both of Dee's parents are music lovers and raised their children on a soundtrack ranging from Motown to Grand Ole Opry, with artists like BB King, Ray Charles, Johnny Cash and The Allman Brothers.

Rock has found success in both sides of the music industry ~ on stage and off ~ from producing artists and song writing for various record companies including Virgin, EMI and Capitol Records, to writing the soundtrack for the Warner Bros. film 'Divas'.
