About

OLD DOMINION

Proving that they are not your average country band, Old Dominion blends old-fashioned country charm, lyrical wit and rock n' roll grit into radio-friendly, hook-heavy pop nuggets. The band has emerged as one of the hottest breaking bands in country music, fusing clever lyrics and an infectious sound. Old Dominion recently released their highly anticipated sophomore album, Happy Endings, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums Chart & #7 on the Top 200 and were nominated for two CMA nominations for “New Artist of the Year” and “Vocal Group of the Year.”

Old Dominions new single, “Written In The Sand,” follows the success of the first single off of the album “No Such Thing As A Broken Heart,” which hit #1 on Billboard Country Airplay and Mediabase charts. The band released their first full length album Meat and Candy, which was certified GOLD by the RIAA and hailed a "stellar debut "by Entertainment Weekly and declared "one of the hottest breaking bands in county music" by Vice.

The group already has several top selling singles under their belts, including the two-week No.1 "Break Up With Him" (PLATINUM), "Snapback" (GOLD) and "Song For Another Time," which hit No. 1 the on Billboard Country Airplay and MediaBase charts. In 2016, the band was notably named ACM New Group of the Year, ACCA Breakthrough Group of the Year, AIMP Songwriter Artist of the Year and Music Row Breakthrough Artist of the Year. Old Dominion consists of lead singer Matthew Ramsey, lead guitarist Brad Tursi, multi-instrumentalist Trevor Rosen, bassist Geoff Sprung and drummer Whit Sellers.

 

Cold Creek County

The Ontario band’s signature multi-part vocal harmonies are bigger and more upfront nowadays. The feel-good party songs from the band’s Till The Wheels Come Off (2015) debut have also given way to a warm and more reflective look at the people and places around them for their new Homemade EP.

“On this record we are experimenting a lot more”, says MacLeod of the band that was nominated for Breakthrough Group of the Year at the 2017 Juno Awards. “This time it’s a little bit more organic and on top of the vocals with a lot more harmonies.”

It’s the sort of music that comes naturally for a band that rehearses in a converted barn where only one corner of the building that gets cellphone reception. It’s also all very consistent with the band’s small town/country worldview and they wouldn’t have it any other way.

The band will be trying to forge a new series of connections when they hit the road for country music festivals and tour appearances.

 

The Washboard Union
