Kris Hitchcock Live at Tin Roof LouisvilleTwo-time Texaco Country Showdown State champions and national recording artists Kris Hitchcock and Small Town Son have become one of the midwest’s most heralded and sought after country acts. With one self-produced album under their belt and another with Nashville producer Jimmy Dulin (Jaron and the long road to love) just released, awe-inspiring musicianship and dynamic live shows, this Michigan-based 5 piece band are stars on the rise. Kris Hitchcock, the bands frontman and songwriter, worked for years on the craft of songwriting before writing in Nashville, TN. With a lyrical sense in the stroke of Springsteen and Mellencamp, and a direction towards honest and personal experiences turned into songs, Kris turns pictures of life’s moments into midwest rock anthems for the people of our time.

They aren’t just country for the sake of country, or rock/pop to fit into a trend, but an authentic, gritty, and straight look at the thoughtss and issues that define growing up and growing old in our world. The sound is midwest country at its best; Tom Petty with a fiddle, Bob Seger with a twang, and 100% born and bred from the heart of the heartland.
