Ten High continues the tradition of alt-country and roots rock in St. Louis, MO. They've drawn on a hodge-podge of musical backgrounds to compose songs that identify with life in the rural and urban Midwest. Stories of people, places, and emotions that listeners find familiar and compelling.
Members of the band claim roots from St. Louis to Kentucky. Bred from a reluctant affliction for cheap bourbon and sour-mash tunes, their hunger for rock 'n' country stardom has earned them fans from as far as Seycheles.
South City Bassist, Jeff Griswold rocks your face with countrified licks that can't be ignored. Lone Kentucky native Rachel Queen adds her keyboard and angelic harmonies that compliment the rough, and sometimes brash, McKee. Matt Queen (Rachel's husband and Ten High drummer) knows well the country life in rural Missouri - a lifestyle he's tried to escape, and portrays in the song D-Town. Call it alternative country, insurgent country, cow punk, or roots rock, Ten High will ruin your life.
