96.11 Simplified at the Rusty Rudder to celebrate the 4th of July!

Most of you will already be on the lake but if you are looking to keep the party going, the Rusty Rudder will have Simplified playing starting at 3pm. If you haven’t heard of this band, they are one of the most popular local bands of the Southeast!

With raucous guitar riffs, velvety vocals and hook-laden melodies, Simplified has been hailed as one of music’s most interesting and, ironically, most complex bands on the circuit today. Fusing elements of reggae, funk, and calypso, the rollicking quartet has not only stunned critics… with its intricate songwriting and versatile stage show but also managed to create a sound all its own … a sound that appears to be stimulating the masses.

My husband and I (Kelly) will be there for sure! We were introduced to them by a friend of ours and fell in love with their sound. Come check it out if you are around.

Just last week, Charlotte NC’s Best Band (Best of the Best of Charlotte/Charlotte Magazine) capped a week of shows by playing with Blues Traveler at The Fillmore in Charlotte and sharing the stage with O.A.R at Battleship Park in Wilmington.

“We play on average about 250 shows a year. We’ve done over 1500 hundred shows in our four year life as a band, probably well over that! ” remarked Chris Sheridan in a recent interview with

.

The band, signed last month to Rockman Management, continues to hone the big career picture.“We’re focused on developing Simplified in other marquee markets so that the band can continue to build on its momentum and play more with national acts.” says Rockman’s Paul Richards.

Simplified continues to travel and tour extensively to college campuses, venues and festivals. During rare days off, Simplified is hitting The Playroom in Fort Mill SC to write and plan their next cd, scheduled for release in spring of 2010.

The year, Simplified has been awarded The Best of the Best of Charlotte by Charlotte Magazine and was just voted Best Local Band for the second year in a row by the readers of Creative Loafing. In April, Simplified finished out the national Fender Road Worn competition as one of the top ten bands in the country based on fan votes for their video “Home”. Simplified was just nominated as BEST ROCK BAND in Charlotte by the Charlotte Music Awards 2009.
