www.rickmonroe.netIn his new single, “Honky Tonk Road Trip” (co-written with Country Weekly’s Larry Holden) Rick Monroe paints a vivid picture ..”Honky Tonk Road Trip” Video… Through his artistry, Monroe creates a clear visual about a musician who hits the road, performing at every honky tonk he can find to wash away the pain of a broken heart only to find there was perfection waiting for him right around the corner. While not completely autobiographical, Rick Monroe is certainly a Country Music Road warrior who isn’t adverse to taking his music directly to the people. Rick says, “You know all those reality shows on TV… my life IS a reality show.”
He’s opened for the likes of Charlie Daniels, Dwight Yoakam, Montgomery Gentry, Marshall Tucker, Darryl Worley, Craig Morgan, Eric Church, Emerson Drive, Patty Loveless, Little Texas, Ricochet, The Birds, Black Hawk, Trick Pony, Chely Wright, Sammy Kershaw and Billy Ray Cyrus & Miley Cyrus. He’s toured Europe for the last 3 years and performed an average of 100 dates a year for the last 2 years. While at home in Nashville, he even makes room for a steady gig at Wildhorse Saloon.
Rick Monroe takes life experiences that we all share, the events that touch our hearts and creates music that speaks directly to the soul in each of us. Whether in an intimate setting accompanied only by his acoustic guitar, a good old honky-tonk, or on stage playing with his band to thousands at an outdoor festival halfway around the world, Rick strives to connect to his audiences. He is always a huge crowd pleaser.
