Rainy Day Six

| Within weeks of being handed a high school diploma on the wooden stage of the gymnasium in Piedmont, Oklahoma, Shaun Six proceeded to sell everything he had and moved to a bigger stage: Seattle, Washington. Six was given the chance to tour the world performing for a motivational speaking organization. His footsteps saw 18 states and four countries within a year. The organization took him to schools, prisons, and auditoriums speaking, singing, dancing, and the occasional improv comedy. "We did anything we could to get in the door. Sometimes there was 20 people, but then we did it once in front of 10,000 people in Phoenix," said Six. "I've been performing forever, just not my music." That was until he met Adam Croom. A friend back home in Oklahoma who had the same problem performing other's music, but never had an outlet for his own music. "Shaun and I took a trip to Denver and on the way we found we had the same love for bands like Jack Johnson. We had both brought our guitars and bounced songs off each other in our hotel room," said Croom. That trip they wrote their very first song as Rainy Day Six and spent the next two years in the studio writing and recording what would eventually become their self-titled debut. "There are some really high high's and relaxing vibes, but then there are also some dark expressive moments. It's got it all," said Six. The eight song EP has been frequently compared to other acoustic/electric pop acts such as James Blunt, Maroon 5, and Jack Johnson. "It's a fresh blend of what's already out there. We aren't out to prove we're anything revolutionary, but rather hone what we consider good music, and speak messages that hopefully people can grab and hold onto," said Croom. "We've already wrote out a handful of new songs that will hopefully be in arms length for everybody soon. Inspiration never stops for us, and we can't wait to get back in the studio, work even harder, and create something even bigger." |
