MusicRowPics: Rick Monroe Previews New Music

Rick Monroe with Matt Dyar

Singer-songwriter Rick Monroe recently previewed tracks from his upcoming EP during a visit to the MusicRow office.

Monroe performed three tracks, including “This Side Of You,” a co-write with Ryan Griffin and Jason Duke. Griffin and Duke are also the co-writers of Kelsea Ballerini’s hit “Dibs.” Monroe, along with guitarist Matt Dyar, also performed acoustic renditions of “A Moment Like This” and “Ease On Down.”

“This Side Of You” is the current single from his upcoming EP Gypsy Soul.

The title is appropriate, given that Monroe lived in several places throughout his childhood, including California, Connecticut, and North Carolina. That gypsy spirit continues as he’s taken his music to 17 countries, and nearly every state in the U.S.

Monroe currently has a sponsorship deal with Monster Energy Drink.
