Deryl Dodd | Dirt Road Gypsies | Bryan Kennedy September 4, 2010

Deryl Dodd has made a name for himself as one of the most authentic artists in country music. From the Texas music circuit to Nashville, national tours to chart topping hits, he’s seen the country music industry from the top. He got his call to stardom as a guitar player and backup singer with Martina McBride and on tour with country music icons like Garth Brooks, Tim McGraw and Brooks & Dunn. After a life-threatening illness nearly ended his career in the late 90’s, Dodd re-emerged with a new appreciation for life and a stronger loyalty to himself and his music. Inspired by the county music classics he grew up listening to his newest studio album, Together Again contains 11 new tracks, including his bone jarring title track of the Buck Owens 1964 classic.

The Dirt Road Gypsies have a plan, and that plan is to never leave the dance floor empty. In the short span of a year they have become one of the busiest and most requested bands in the DFW Metroplex. That in itself should be proof of their commitment to providing everyone a good time.

Bryan Kennedy has written several songs that appear on other artists CD’s like; Rick Trevino, The Derailers, Deryl Dodd, Chuck Wagon and the Wheels, Jerry Reed, and others. He also has written other songs that appear on numerous Garth Brooks records, including three #1 radio hits; “Good Ride Cowboy”, “The Beaches of Cheyenne,” and “American Honky Tonk Bar Association.” In addition, Bryan opened up for Garth Brooks with good friend, Dan Roberts performing in front of millions of people. Bryan says that all they really did was “provide back ground music for those buying T-shirts”, and is forever grateful to Garth for the ride.
