Rival Sons Celebrate Grammy Nominations In Nashville
California rock band Rival Sons entertained guests with a performance at RCA Studio A Wednesday night (Dec. 18) to celebrate their Grammy nominations for Best Rock Album (Feral Roots) and Best Rock Performance for (“Too Bad”). The band is currently signed under Dave Cobb’s Low Country Sound imprint of Elektra in conjunction with Atlantic Records.
Their sixth studio effort was written in a cabin by Natchez Trace and recorded in part in Nashville and Muscle Shoals, Alabama. Lead vocalist Jay Buchanan said, “Scott and I knew that we wanted to approach things differently. We knew that we’re going to have more time and we also knew that we were graduating to another level.”
Guitarist Scott Holiday added, “You either gonna turn a corner and do something totally different or you’re really trying to hone in on exactly what you’ve been trying to do. I think this record we were honing in and at the same time really trying [to] turn a corner with our new team.”
Cobb notes, “One thing for this record for me, everyone’s here in Tennessee. This is an absolutely Tennessee record. It was written in Tennessee, and when Jay told me the name of the record Feral Roots, it all generates from all of the of this area. I think it’s a beautiful sentiment; there’s so much Tennessee in this album.”
They performed their No. 1 single “Do Your Worst” and their Grammy-nominated single “Too Bad” from their Feral Roots album. They continued the music with a selection from their 2012 album Head Down, the melancholic “Jordan” and concluded with the closing track to Feral Roots “Shooting Stars” accompanied by Shannon Sanders’ Nashville Urban Choir.
Rival Sons includes Jay Buchanan (vocals), Scott Holiday (guitar), Dave Beste (bass guitar), and Mike Miley (drums).
