Texas singer/songwriter, Darryl Lee Rush, was born in the small town of Markham; a small farming community in south central Texas. He later moved to Austin where he was the lead singer and songwriter for The Big Johnsons. He currently resides in Dallas, where he was the lead singer and songwriter for the popular folk rock band Fast Train. Darryl now works under his own name with bass player and backup singer, Mike McShane, the extraordinary harmonica of long-time sidekick Don Gallia, and Andy Mayer on drums. He is a lively musician and storyteller who develops a strong rapport with his audience.
Like many great Texas songwriters, Darryl's songs reflect the landscapes and the human condition of the places he's lived. In his song A Town Too Tough To Die, he describes growing up in a "town down along the Coastal Bend, where there's miles and miles of milo and cotton, and that warm Matagorda wind." From the perils of picking up women in convenience stores in urban Lakewood in 7/11 to the 69 Chevelle sitting on blocks in the front yard of his White Trash Paradise, Darryl paints a lively, humorous and often irreverent picture of the Texas landscape, urban to rural.
