The spinning of a crackling vinyl copy of John Lee Hooker’s album “Hooker N’ Heat” at about 2am - coupled with singer Chris Vos’ stories of a trip to see Iggy & The Stooges at The Palladium in LA - inspired the three to get together the next day and jam together. The band formed in Los Feliz, California after a late night of hanging out as friends listening to records on their bass player Alex’s back porch with drinks in hand and speakers in the window. “Caught halfway between the stomp of mid-century rock & roll and the soulful kick of Delta blues, the Record Company kick up a raw, rootsy racket,” raved Rolling Stone. The Record Company’s popular success was matched with enthusiastic critical acclaim. In the spring of 2017, they followed up with “Baby, I’m Broken,” which became a Top 5 single at Triple-A.

Their single “Rita Mae Young” was the album’s second consecutive Triple A smash which cracked into the Top Ten. “Off The Ground,” the album’s first single, proved a sensation, spending two consecutive weeks as the #1 track nationwide. The Record Company’s raw and righteous rock ‘n’ roll was unleashed on its Concord Records debut album, GIVE IT BACK TO YOU, in February 2016, which was nominated for a Grammy Award in the category of BEST CONTEMPORARY BLUES ALBUM. “Everything Alex, Marc and I do comes from our desire to write the best songs we can and make the most honest music that we can.” “It’s about making the right choices for the songs,” says singer and guitarist Chris Vos. By June 2017, the trio had scored a nationwide #1 Triple-A radio hit, followed up with a second Top Ten Triple-A smash, and even a third Top 5 Triple-A hit (largely unheard of for a new artist), been nominated for a Grammy Award, and landed the opening slot on John Mayer’s first solo tour since 2014. In February 2016, The Record Company released their debut album ‘Give It Back To You’ – ten songs conceived, recorded and mixed by the band in the bassist’s living room in Los Angeles. “…showing off a down-and-dirty sound and megawatts of onstage intensity.” – Rolling Stone Tickets: Reserved Seating $27, $32, $42 (plus fee)
