About Memphis 59: With a name lifted from the chronicles of Rock and Roll history, Memphis 59 is a band hailing from Arlington, Virginia. The band features singer-songwriter Scott Kurt, Richard Lewis on bass, and Chris Zogby on drums. Memphis 59's sound, influenced by artists like Tom Petty, Paul Westerberg, Bruce Springsteen, and The Old 97's, is described as a combination of rock, alt-country, and pop. "Ragged but right", says Grammy-winning producer John Jennings of Memphis 59's musical style - a description the band liked so much that is was adopted as the title of their first full-length album. Memphis 59 began recording Ragged But Right in the summer of 2009,with the assistance of a trio of Grammy winners lined up to produce, engineer, and play on the record. Released in December of 2009, the album stays true to the band's straight-ahead, guitar driven roots rock sound. Featuring 12 original tracks, Ragged But Right was recorded at the award winning Bias Studios in Springfield, Virginia. Producer John Jennings was named 2008 Producer of the Year by the Washington Area Music Association, and has also worked with Grammy-winning artists Mary Chapin Carpenter, George Jones, Lyle Lovett, and The Indigo Girls.
