Touring the states through November 22nd, The Record Company will wrap up in their 32-date tour in their hometown Los Angeles. They have much to celebrate. Aside from the first chance to get back on the road since the pandemic, they are armed with great material from their just released Play Loud CD on Concord Records. And the fans have been wildly responsive. The single “How High” is getting traction, peaking last month on Billboard’s Adult Alternative Airplay.
Additionally, during lockdown they produced an EP of cover songs titled Side Projects – of which the band performed their smashing version of Big Mama Thornton’s “Ball and Chain” live.
Seeing them live is an event not to be missed. Frontman, guitarist and multi-instrumentalist Chris Vos, along with Alex Stiff (bass/guitar), and quiet but formable Marc Cazorla (drums) are tight. Expanding their sounds on stage are keyboardist Wesley Flowers and guitarist/bassist Johnny Elkins. Vos stands out as a formidable front man. He engages and entertains the crowd like few can. Keep an eye on this band. Get Play Loud here.
