WINNER of Cleveland Scene Music Awards Best Americana/Country category!

Opening with the maudlin a cappella tune "In My Time of Dyin'," The Journeyman, the first solo offering by Rambler 454's Dan McCoy, starts on a dour note but quickly picks up speed as McCoy and his backing band the Standing 8's offer barroom ballads that channel the roots rock of Drive-by Truckers on "Moving Day" and evokes Tom Petty on the rambunctious "The Knockout."

My first solo album, recorded in one night with Chris Viola. Yeah, it's a little rough around the edges & someday I may re-record some or all of these songs. Until then enjoy this hastily made album.

Y'allternative, Drinking Man's Rock, or sometime Alt Country

Roadhouse rock. Beer-soaked gems that promise no nasty hangover. Drive By Truckers, Slobberbone, or a young Tom Petty with a shot of adrenaline.

Drinking man's rock, or that part of Americana where Uncle Tupelo, Black Crowes, Georgia Satellites and Chris Whitley share a case of Pabst.

Our third & final album (well it's an EP but whatever).

Our second album! "road trips and nose dives," an offering from Mentor, Ohio's BLOCK, is an indie disc of a caliber not often seen. With catchy songwriting, and impassioned vocal performances by guitarist Dan McCoy, BLOCK have managed to make a rock and roll indie that feels blue-collar without sounding like Mellencamp or Springsteen. The songs prove their worth. The trio has smart hooks that give the songs an "up" feel. Their music brings to mind Hootie/ Blowfish and Edwin McCain without being manic depressive. Fans of music that can be both fun and serious, take note, and give BLOCK a listen. It's good music that feels like it grew out of your own neighborhood. Featuring Ned Rieke on drums, vocals, organ & piano & Barry Branham on bass & vocals

The debut mess...I mean album. This is the Pittsburgh version of the band featuring 4 different bass players, 3 different studios, multiple producers & engineers and a whole lot of a band looking for an identity. Good times indeed though!

This is a collection of covers & alternate versions of originals that I recorded kind of off the cuff. The quality may not be the best but whatever. It's free man!!! This "album" will be updated from time to time so keep checking back.

"Live," new & reworked versions of songs. A good representation of what I sound like in a live situation. There are some demos of new songs I've recently written in there as well.
