Ryan Spencer Cook | RCMC || Gene Simmons || Ace Frehley
"Who said FAT was a bad thing?!?! Pig Hog Cables! Fat Cable, Fat Sound. You Can't Beat 'Em or Break 'Em!! "
Ryan Spencer Cook grew up in the capital city of Topeka, KS. His window to the rest of the World existed through publications such as Circus and Hit Parader magazines as well as TV variety shows The Midnight Special and Don Kirshner's Rock Concert. The theatrics of KISS and the dual guitar lineup of Aerosmith soon got his attention. Spending his teens practicing and playing in cover bands, RSC made his way to Los Angeles where he signed his first record deal with the Hard Rock quartet Hair of the Dog (Spitfire Records). After touring worldwide and releasing three albums with HOTD, he then relocated to Nashville, TN. In 2004 he continued to tour as guitarist for national acts including Thee Rock N' Roll Residency and Big Rock Show. In 2016 Ryan caught the attention of Gene Simmons, resulting in a gig as Simmons guitarist for his first ever solo tour. Upon completion of said tour, he then segued directly from Simmons to another Kiss founding member, Ace Frehley.
Fast forward to 2023 one of rock music’s newest and exciting bands is emerging from Music City - Nashville, TN …… ROCK CITY MACHINE COMPANY! RCMC was founded by Ryan on vocals and guitar along with guitarist Jeremy Asbrock. They were joined by bassist Philip Shouse and released their self-titled debut album RCMC in late 2023. Having spent the past six years supporting Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Gene Simmons and Ace Frehley, this trio recently joined forces with award winning producer/songwriter Marti Frederiksen (Aerosmith, Motley Crue, Ozzy Osbourne) to create a solid slab of hard rock with a much welcomed sense of newness and familiarity. “Our influences are deeply rooted in 60’s, 70’s and 80’s rock” stated Asbrock. “Our understanding and emotional attachment to Rock N’ Roll has always been constant … the end result is a body of new music that you immediately feel you’ve known your entire life” added Cook. “Our collective upbringings include Alabama, Kansas, Los Angeles and of course, Nashville. You can hear it all, in each and every song”.
Their touring lineup is: Ryan Spencer Cook, guitar and vocals | Jeremy Asbrock, guitar | Tobin Dale, bass | and Ricky Ficarelli on drums. Look for RCMC on tour in 2024 supporting Buckcherry and Skid Row!
