With a passel of rootsy songs about whiskey, women, heartache and interstate highways Truckstop Coffee cranks out a reviving take on the road-worn genre of Americana/whatever-u-call-it rock 'n roll. Named after the powerful stuff that helps keep you between the lines on those long lonely drives, this hard-working young four-piece blends overdriven tube amps, telecaster twang, and rough-hewn vocals for a vintage sound that'll break yer heart and sew it up again with steel strings.
In just their first three years together Truckstop Coffee has torn through more than a 100 shows, landed a gig as openers for Brooks & Dunn at south Florida's Sound Advice Amphitheater (canceled due to Hurricane Wilma), and was named the “Best Country Act - 2005 — with one foot firmly planted in rock" in southern Florida by City Link Magazine. Along the way, the boys have gained loyal fans and friends as well as valuable main-stage chops by opening up for national bands like Jimmie Van Zant, The Georgia Satellites, Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers, Magnolia Electric Co. (aka Songs Ohia), John Ralston and Gasoline Heart. Through blood, sweat, and backbreak at big venues such as the Maltz Jupiter Theater, the Gosman Amphitheater at the Kravis Center, Markham Park, Revolution's Main Stage, and more, the band has earned a reputation for delivering honest, urgent performances everywhere they play.
In addition to playing heaps of shows Truckstop Coffee also found time to record and release a five song EP in 2004, and they just celebrated the release of their first full-length recording titled One Damn Thing To Redeem in December 2006. The 10-track debut is a wanderlustful journey through a blue-highway landscape of raucous roots rock and yesteryear country. It's loud overdriven guitars. It's pedal steel and fiddle. And, recorded one part in southern Florida and one part in Knoxville, Tennessee, this album of opposites is as much a documentary of where Truckstop Coffee has been as it is a road map for where they're headed.
