Tara and Tom Dunphy of the Rizdales are a happily married couple, really they are, but you'd never know it from the heartbreaking stories of addiction, infidelity, loss, and longing they've penned for their latest release, Radio Country.
Formed in London,based in Toronto, Ontario, the Rizdales have been performing their highly infectious brand of roots rock infused country to enthusiastic crowds since early 2003.
Haven’t yet heard the Rizdales? Sounds kinda like Elvis Costello and Patsy Cline fronting the Buckaroos with Nick Lowe at the board. As vocalists go, Tom and Tara’s voices couldn’t be any less alike, each one unique and conveying such brutal honesty, as though they've lived each and every line of the sad songs they sing.
On Radio Country you’ll also hear Tom on guitar and Tara on fiddle, along with fellow band members Rob Clarke on bass, Mark Duff on drums and Brad ‘Shyboy’ Keogan on electric guitar.
