It's that time again! Every month we have the privilege of hosting the Mississippi Songwriters Alliance's Songs and Stories Showcase. This July 18th at 7 PM come and enjoy the stylings of Alan Rhody!

A Louisville, Ky. native and art college graduate, Alan Rhody’s songs are imaginative and compassionate stories that can bring you to tears but can also have you laughing out loud. He’s received BMI’s Million-Aires Award for over one million domestic airplays of “I’ll Be True To You,” The Oak Ridge Boys No.1 country classic, which crossed over into Billboard’s pop chart as well.

Other memorable hits include, “Trainwreck Of Emotion,” Lorrie Morgan’s first Top 20 hit and a No.1 bluegrass hit for Del McCoury. “Wild-Eyed Dream,” Ricky Van Shelton’s break-through hit and Quintessential country vocalist, Barbara Fairchild, released Rhody’s “All My Cloudy Days Are Gone” April 29, 2024. Other artists covering Rhody’s songs include: George Jones, Tanya Tucker, Toby Keith, Hoyt Axton, Don Gibson, Lee Greenwood, T.G. Sheppard, John Schneider, Cedar Creek, Jimmy C. Newman, Suzy Bogguss, Atlanta Rhythm Section, Lynn Anderson, Kevin Welch, Terry McMillan, Michael Cleveland & Flamekeeper, Billy “Crash” Craddock and Canadian Hall of Famers, The Good Brothers and Murray McLauchlan. His three most popular songs have sold a total of over six-million copies.

As a solo artist, Rhody began writing songs around the same time he made his first regional television appearances and released two independent singles. He’s produced and released eight independent albums/CDs and toured extensively in the U.S. and Canada over his five decade career.
