Whether he s detailing the negative aspects of life or celebrating the positive ones, Southern rock s Rob Aldridge asks us to use our minds and our hearts.
Join WMOT just before the weekend for the return of Finally Friday. We're still streaming artists from their home bases, but we're approaching the return of live shows from the new Eastside Bowl in Madison. This week's guests, Rob Aldridge and the Proponents, plus Lord Nelson.
Alabama-based rock and rollers Rob Aldridge & the Proponents leaned into a two-part strategy for their upcoming second album Mind Over Manners: speak thoughtful truths and back them up with tasteful grooves. To that end, they dodged the dreaded sophomore-slump by a mile, delivering a twelve-song collection strong enough to break through into the ranks of fellow-Alabaman contemporaries like Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit or Alabama Shakes.
