ABOUT

From Nashville, TN comes an exciting redneck crock band. Vocalist/Guitarist Handsome Mick Rowe, Bass Guitarist Tim Thompson, and Drummer Hank Hill- collectively known as Nineteen88-have been able to accomplish alot in the very short time they have been together. Formed from the ashes of Mick's previous band Goliath (Music Cartel Records), Nineteen88 was created to play "good time crock with some old school country that has something for everyone" as Handsome Mick puts it. "We all grew up listening and playing different styles of music, we consider Nineteen88 sonic territory to include ACDC, Shooter Jennings, and Big & Rich. but include a nod to the past heros of Country music. We are not a cover band in the least, but we do not try to hide those Country ifluences, if we did, the music wouldn't be as honest".

An actively touring band, Nineteen88 has been able to share stages (both acoustic and electric) with some of Nashville's rising stars. They have performed in almost every region in the U.S. picking up fans all along the way. Now with the national release "The Great American Rock And Roll Spectacle", the doors are wide open for the new band. Bass Guitarist Tim Thompson, a South Carolina transplant who moved to Nashville a decade ago says, "Touring and playing music is an amazing "job perk" to have. I love traveling so much! Meeting all sorts of people and getting to know them is something I don't take for granted." Hank Hill. adds " I would echo Tim on that. I mean, we can drive all night with no sleep and be 100% wiped out, but the minute we hit that stage and I see a crowd of total strangers connecting with the music, it makes it all worthwhile! That crocks!."

When one hears Nineteen88 for the first time, they are reminded of a care-free time in their lives. It's almost impossible not to sing along. The band weaves musical portraits that relate to any hard working American man and every female that loves them!.
