The Introduction

Well, hello there and thanks for stopping by. My name is Heath and this is a blog dedicated to chronicling the progress and musical adventures of Sand Dollar Rodeo.

What is Sand Dollar Rodeo, you ask? Well, it is a musical duo consisting of Mr. Roy Holliday and myself. I play electric lead guitar, along with some acoustic guitar, and some bass here and there. I will also contribute some backing vocals from time to time. Now Roy, on the other hand, is the mad wizard. He is a very accomplished piano and keyboard player and a darn good acoustic guitar player to boot. He also handles our lead vocals and has a great baritone voice.

We are both children of the 80's and thus, were influenced by a wide range of new wave and alternative bands such as Duran Duran, Devo, The Cure, Inxs, U2 and many, many more.

Our sound has been described as a mish mash of Texas Country, Jimmy Buffett, and 80's New Wave all rolled into one. We try not to take ourselves too seriously, therefore, our songs maintain a lighthearted and fun vibe, for the most part.

We are currently working on our debut album and planning on an early 2013 release date. We look forward to this journey, wherever it may take us and hope you will come along for the ride, as well! Ciao!

P.S. Tune in next time to see how Roy & Heath met!
