River County Rockin' The Country With Debut CD

Nashville, TN. (Top40 Charts/ SVC Records) - SVC Records, Indianapolis, IN is poised to make its national introduction with the first musical production from its flagship artist River County.

River County's Derek Wylie (lead vocals), Chris Presley (lead/rhythm guitar and background vocals) and Jake Hehman (keyboards & harmonies) are good ole' country boys from Indiana who are friends for life and have made ROCKIN' THE COUNTRY their life's mission. The band is set to release its debut CD, aptly titled ROCKIN' THE COUNTRY, on October 28, 2008.

Produced Terry Wendt, the project is a double barrel blast of whiskey-soaked country with a rock'n roll flavor. Featuring tales of love and disaster with pure, honest to goodness storytelling and heavy-hitting music, ROCKIN' THE COUNTRY has all the captivating elements of a good yarn. Chock-full with River County originals, the album is filled with hidden messages and personal meaning. The 10-song CD contains the heartfelt, emotional fan favorites, "I Thank God" and "It's Alright to Cry," the groovin' "We're All Here" (that'll drive every listener to the local watering hole), every gal's dream song, "What A Real Man Does," and their hard drivin' new single "Rockin' The Country" which was released to radio in July.

River County music is not for the faint of heart; it's for the honky-tonk faithful and true-blue southern rock fans. Combining the musical vibe and craftsmanship of Marshall Tucker Band, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Charlie Daniels, the trio delivers a bold sound in southern rock/swamp rock style.

A non-stop, working band, the road warriors have played more than thirty dates in the last three months; have opened for Andy Griggs, Rascal Flatts, Jack Ingram and Lorrie Morgan and performed at a variety of special events including the Indy 500 and the NASCAR Brickyard 400. In early 2008, the group successfully completed a five-city tour in Mainland, China and most recently headlined the HANK's Advantage Health SkyConcert in Indianapolis. The trio was named "Indy's No.1 Country Band," by Nuvo Magazine (2007) and featured in Country Weekly's "Listen Up!" in the August 11, 2008 issue.
