Eddie Bush, Royal Reed and Chris Roberts makeup one of country music’s newest trios, One Flew South, are they on tap to kick-off the premiere evening of Pheasant Run’s two-day country music extravaganza, Mega WinterFest.
One Flew South entered the country music scene with My Kind of Beautiful a harmonic, fresh and fun-loving country music song that’s ode to everything about that “one girl.”
My Kind of Beautiful is truly a fantastic song, it’s of fun and has some great imagery, Eddie Bush said. “It also represents a little bit of history for us, it was one of the songs that helped us get our record deal.”
Bush, Reed and Roberts are all professional musicians from separate areas of the country but when they played for the first time together, it immediately felt right, Bush explains.
“It was truly unbelievable the first time we heard our three voices together. The three of us have very different and unique voices and our music reflects that.”
After a trip to New York’s DECCA Records, the trio went on to immediately create their debut album titled Last of the Good Guys. The album’s songs are arranged in an interesting combination of rhythms, harmonic chords and country sounds. Songs like “Blue Highway” and “Junkie” are interesting and bring us back to sounds of the 1970s, and tracks like “Life” and “She’s a Gift” have a fresh, country music sound that will help bring One Flew South to a new level.
So what’s next for One Flew South?
“We’re really excited about record and very proud of it, and we’re looking forward to releasing our next single, Life, and getting some road-time,” said Bush. “We’ve visited Chicago a few times in the past and we love it, its one of the most beautiful, clean cities in the word. The architecture is beautiful.”
