Alan Rhody's two most recent CD releases: "Rhody In Black & White" (2005 21 song retrospective featuring Alan's versions of many of his biggest songs by artists such as Del McCoury, Lorrie Morgan, The Oak Ridge Boys, Murray McLauchlan, Tanya Tucker, and Kevin Welch) and "Journey" (2003, w/guests John Prine, John Hartford, Maura O'Connell and others, give listeners a chance to hear the heart and soul of his engaging body of work right from the source!

One of the hardest working solo acoustic performers anywhere, Alan also conducts songwriting workshops at festivals, schools and other venues across North America. Alan has been awarded BMI's "Million Airplay Award" as well as many platinum and gold Record awards for over 6 million sales of records containing his songs. He has had over 100 covers of his originals to date. But his performances are what people remember most whether he's singing a ballad, a folk-rocker or one of his hilarious forays into the human condition.

A Louisville Ky. native based in Nashville, Tn., Alan's career started in Western Canada with regional and national TV appearances progressing to Toronto with his first recordings for London Records Canada. After relocating to Nashville, Tennessee, major artists began to record his songs as he continued to tour, write and compile recordings that would become his first releases several years later.

Though not a household name, he's continued to tour in folk and Americana venues all over North America consistantly winning over new fans, while developing a devoted following and helping to create the genre now called Americana or Acoustic Roots along with fellow mavericks such as Steve Earle, Kevin Welch, John Prine, Guy Clark, Emmy Lou Harris and many, many others.

" It's Rhody's heart-stopping songs and uncluttered playing that will grip you and make you stick around. And fall in love." -Performing Songwriter magazine

" He has achieved a level of respect and recognition that places him in the
vanguard of the pioneers of the contemporary roots music movement."
-Toronto Star

" Always solid, tough, trim and clear as a bell. He is consistently head
and shoulders above the pack. I'm a confirmed fan and always have been."
-Kevin Welch, writer/artist, Dead Reckoning
