ROBERT JON & THE WRECK (USA)

In May 2019, the band issued their studio album, Take Me Higher, which had been conceived and written with the new members, Henry James and Warren Murrel. Their subsequent touring schedule took in the Ramblin' Man Fair in the UK alongside headliners Foreigner, and the Keeping The Blues Alive at Sea Mediterranean Blues Cruise in the company of Joe Bonamassa, Peter Frampton, Eric Gales, and Robert Randolph and the Family Band.[1] Their next album, Last Light on the Highway, was released on May 8, 2020. The album featured backing singers Mahalia Barnes, Jade MacRae and Juanita Tippins.[3] "Tired Of Drinking Alone" was one of 11 self-penned tracks making up the collection.[2] The release warranted a favorable mention in Rolling Stone, and the single release from the album, "Oh Miss Carolina", had a three month tenure on Planet Rock Radio in the UK. By this stage the band membership had settled as Robert Jon Burrison (lead vocals/guitar), Andrew Espantman (drums/background vocals), Steve Maggiora (keyboards/background vocals), Henry James (lead guitar), and Warren Murrel (bass guitar).[1] Their next studio album was Shine a Light on Me Brother, which was released on September 3, 2021.[4] It received critical acclaim.[5] One reviewer commented "Shine A Light On Me Brother is Robert Jon and the Wreck's best album to date which is saying a lot. It's a great album from start to finish".[6] Touring commitments throughout 2021 took in parts of Europe, including at Bospop in Weert, Netherlands, the UK in May, plus Australian and Japanese dates.[1][3]Wreckage Vol. 2 (2022), was a compilation album covering in-studio and live performances recorded between 2020 and 2022. The band has just finished a major US touring schedule and is due to tour the UK in 2023.[4]
