"Old Dominion is made up of four Virginians, one Michigander, and one bearded keyboard player who's place of origin remains a mystery. The chemistry that occurs when Old Dominion takes the stage can only be achieved through years of cheap hotels, dirty clubs, and long van rides across the country forming a bond that somehow adds up to great music. Based in Nashville, they have managed to carve out their own territory as well as play music and write songs for some of todays top country recording artists, including Steve Holy, Chris Young, Taylor Swift, and Randy Houser just to name a few. Although they have been together for many years, Old Dominion is putting the finishing touches on their debut release full of heartbreaking rock and summertime party music."
I borrowed the bio from the bands reverbnation website (click on it to take you there!) because frankly I couldn't describe them any better than that, except by maybe telling you how amazing there music is! They have a unique rock n roll take on country music that is addicting from the first listen! If you are looking for some new music to listen to this is the PERFECT band for you! Promise! Ask around and everyone will tell you they are a must listen to!
I asked some friends what their favorite song by the band is and what makes them unique from other country bands and heres what they said!
Sabrina: Favorite song - one day. I feel like its a different take on a breakup song
Jade: My favorite song: Wake Up Loving You.
Why?: It's a BEAUTIFUL song. I love the beat, the guitar, the words,
everything about it. It's both different and mainstream enough for
radio and it would definitely be a crowd favorite at shows.
What
makes them different?: They are sort of rock-ish in with their country
twang. Their words have substance to them and they have a sound that
people would come from all around to see.
Lucy: My favorite song is "That's How We Do Summertime" because its just the
perfect song to listen to when you need to just jam or smile :D
They style is different from any other country song/music is because it
has some soulful rock in their music that just catches your attention
right away.I love that its just not to much country but not to much
rock. it evens out the music and thats what i love. You legit can not
put their cd down after you get it. It's the amazing music you can just
blast in your car.
My favorite song is also "Thats How We Do Summer". Like Lucy said its the perfect summer song! But really the whole disk is great! There isn't one sing I didn't love!! Their songs also have great lyrics to them! I love it when music has meaning but also has a good beat. Sometimes you only get one or the other!! But really don't just take my friends and I word for it. Head on over to their site (again the link is above) and check out their music!!
