Whats your cause to rise?

About Me

Hailing from Kansas City, Rodney Thurman blends elements of a crafty songwriting and grassroots rock n roll . The combination of both genres has created soothing melodic cuts with kicks of high energy rock that has captivated the attention of many. So far the self taught songwriter has turned the heads of industry professionals and labels throughout the Midwest.

Currently Rodney is working on his first EP with producer Luke Frederickson (winner of Minneapolis’s best rock engineer mix 2006) in Minneapolis, MN. The album "A Cause To Rise" is to be promised with euphonious guitar hooks, steady potent drums, and unyielding vocal choruses. The album will contain a combination of 13 songs that are a mix of acoustic recordings and full blown rock n roll.
