The Rosy Shades

The Rosy Shades

 

The Rosy Shades are an indie rock band from Tallahassee, Florida, consisting of Tim Rock, Jon Little, Nathan Louis and Thomas Pritchard. In 2009, Jon and Tim - natives of Jacksonville, Florida - began writing songs together. They drew influence from 60's classic rock, rhythm and blues, indie rock and other genres that drive the band ’s stylistic driving rhythms, beats, blazing guitars and soaring vocals.

 

Tim moved to Tallahassee shortly after beginning his collaboration with Jon. Soon he discovered that a local venue, The Warehouse, had an open mic night which he frequented. That's where Tim and Nathan first met and realized a mutual taste in music. In fact , Nathan wound up blown away by Tim’s open mic sets, and saw that he had a natural gift for music.

 

He told the Florida State University news, “Certain people just have that thing . I heard something. It was unrefined , but it was there.” The two musicians quickly bonded and began writing and jamming together on a regular basis. This spurred Jon's relocation to Tallahassee, and the fledling trio began their first recording sessions.

 

With the help of fellow open mic night performers, The Rosy Shades became a fixture of Tallahassee’s thriving original music scene. Over the ensuing months, the band worked tirelessly to self-record the growing number of songs for Morning Spirits. The band self-released the EP in October of 2012, shortley after which Thomas Pritchard joined the group - contributing to the remastered and re-released edition in 2013.
