About Old Union
Imagine a musical road trip through Memphis and Muscle Shoals with side trips to Texas and Detroit, ending up in Macon and you have a idea of the distinctive American rock and roll of Old Union. With musical influences as varied as the individual members, the music of Old Union has been described as fresh and new, yet with a cool retro vibe.
Old Union was formed in Nashville, Tennessee in 2001 by Chuck Foster (keyboards and lead vocals), Johnny Zvolensky (guitars), Steve Spotty Swertfeger (guitars and vocals), and David Bryndal (drums), with the recent addition Professor "JDubb" Williams (bass). The strong, well-crafted songs and soulful, gritty vocals of Foster remain the heart and soul of the band. With additional songwriting from Zvolensky, and Swertfeger, Old Union has acquired the reputation as one of the best song-oriented bands working today. With superb musicianship from the twin guitar assault of Swertfeger and Zvolensky and the locked in solid-as-a-rock rhythm section of Williams and Bryndal, Old Union hits the stage with an aggressive rock edge drenched in Southern soul.
Old Unions debut CD; Forgiveness Or Permission, released in December of 2003, drew favorable reviews from Hittin The Note, An Honest Tune, Glide and numerous newspapers around the country. The CD, which featured guest vocals from rock legend, Bonnie Bramlett led to a successful Bramlett/Old Union Northeastern tour including a critically acclaimed appearance at the Edmonton Folk Festival. Their non-stop touring schedule has taken them from coast to coast with appearances at such high profile festivals as Bonnaroo, High Sierra Music Festival, Blue Ridge Harvest Festival, Chattanooga's Riverbend Festival, Nashville's Riverstages and Dancin in the District, Terrapin Hill, Down On The Farm and Uphonia. They have appeared with such artists as Karl Densons Tiny Universe, North Mississippi All Stars, Ratdog, Govt. Mule, Allman Brothers Band, Black Crowes and The Charlie Daniels Band. The intensity of their live shows has earned them a loyal fan base that is growing with every show. Their hometown Nashville club shows are legend, drawing a whos who of musicians on stage to jam including former Allman Brother Jack Pearson, rock and roll Hall Of Famer Steve Cropper, Bonnie and Becca Bramlett, Jimmy Hall, Tony Furtado, members of The Charlie Daniels Band and numerous others.
In 2006 the Union released their concert DVD filmed at the infamous Exit In, which featured an 11-piece encore. The year saw some studio work with John Carter Cash at the legendary Cash Cabin Studio. Cash was drawn to the band by their songwriting ability and called their sound; "lyrically poignant, sonically explosive, emotionally charged and culturally significant. The best new rock music I've heard in years." The year found it's end with the third annual sold out New Years show at The Belcourt Theatre in Nashville, which featured the great Johnny Neel.
Old Union just released their new album, "Motels & Highways" which features there brand of rock 'n' roll with guest musicians including Charlie Daniels, Johnny Neel, The Dynamites' horn section, and many more. The album was co-produced with Grammy-nominated engineer, Jake Burns, recorded in Nashville, TN which reflects their most prolific studio experience to date.
