Your Texas Music is the place to go for tickets to shows by Texas artists, Texas music CDs on independent labels, Texas music downloads, and art by Texas artists.

Description Track Listing Details
 
Rocky was born in the tiny town of Broaddus, Texas. The many trips to his mother's childhood home of Picher, Oklahoma helped develop his love of music. He also learned to sing and keep rhythm with his grandfather, Wyan Sims, former lead guitarist for The Foggy River Boys of Branson, Missouri. Wyan and family later formed a traveling gospel group called The Eternals.

At eighteen, Rocky got his first guitar in a Nacogdoches pawn shop and hasn't put it down since. Married twice, divorced twice, and five children later Rocky lives near Nacogdoches, the oldest town in Texas, and collaborates with local (and some not so local) musicians for an ever evolving, but always Texas sound. When he discovered Rock n’ Roll as a youngster, things began to change.

His love of music in general led him down many paths of influence through the years, and eventually brought him to his unique sound today with touches of Rock, Blues, Country, Bluegrass, R n’ B; it's all there. In early 2006, Rocky’s friends and musicians Jeromy Barber and Dave Morrison encouraged Rocky to do a home recording of a few of his songs and post them on myspace.

In August of 2006, Red Boot Music was introduced to Rocky and his music, they were hooked, and decided to record Young & Pretty. When Rocky is not in the studio writing, recording or just plain jamming, he restores worn out motorcycles and hangs out with the kids, whose developing musical talents help keep him inspired to play on.
