MEET THE BAND!

 

Rory Price
Lead vocals  Rhythm guitar:

Rory was born and raised in the small southeast Texas town of Groves. He discovered Merle Haggard at an early age.    Country music was his first love. His mom played piano at the Baptist church in Dam B Texas. That musical exposure at a young age inspired him to pick up a guitar and learn a few Hank Sr. Songs. Rory moved to the Houston area in the early 80's where he met local musicians and started his first country band Lone Star. He also was in the popular country band Countdown for several years. In the early part of 2001, his music interest changed to blues for a few years. He was in the local blues band Blue Attitude and local favorite Trailer Trash Band. He couldn't wait to start his on band. In 2009 the band Rush Creek was created and has picked up steam since. Rory also was briefly a founding member of the acoustic trio Harmony Creek which focused primarily on Texas country with strong layered harmonies. I want to play and sing as long as people will listen!!

Gerald Berger
Bass Guitar and Vocals

Gerald is a native Houstonian, but grew up in Montgomery County, Texas, cutting his musical teeth in marching and stage band at Montgomery High School. Upon graduating high school he began playing in cover bands in Houston, Texas. Around 1984 he began working with original rock projects in the Houston area, most notably XOX – managed by Lone Wolf Management (ZZ Top’s manager Bill Ham), Misery (with Greg Gilley), Eighth Day, Under the Sun, Irian Jaya.

After recording and touring regionally with rock acts, Gerald got married and started a family in 1993. After a few years out of music he got back into a few cover bands as a weekend warrior.

When the kids got older in the 2000s, Gerald had the opportunity to record and tour nationally and internationally with a reboot of early 80’s rockers AXE (Atco/Atlantic) fronted by founder Bobby Barth (of Blackfoot and Rose Tattoo fame).

While being a starving artist is a noble pursuit, gainful employment has made music an avocation for Gerald as he has pursued local country, jazz, variety and pickup gigs for the last 20 years.

 

Danny Tice
Lead Guitar and Vocals

Danny Tice  jumped from playing pool halls and teen centers  in the heavy/rock band- (Arte Pike) to doing bigger clubs, events, and concerts playing country music during "Urban Cowboy" days in the 70's. Later, playing for artists such as Sammy Smith, Gene Watson, and Brian Collins, he learned the music business had many highs and also many lows and trials to overcome. Through the years he sang and played lead guitar in dozens of bands such as: The Brian Loftin Band, EZ Money, Foxfire, FM-3, the Barry Lee Carter Band, & the Posse and got to enjoy opening up for bigger shows with acts like: Perfect Strangers, Doug Supernaw and others. Also  forming his own band in 1976- the Space City Cowboys. His band reunited twice in the 90's and again in 2023, with Danny being the only original member left in 2024. But still, the one thing he talks about the most is the times  playing at all the Thanksgiving and Christmas parties at his Mom and Dad's house in Willis, Tx. with family and friends. Currently, playing in Rush Creek, he hopes to expand his horizons as the band moves upwards towards bigger and better things that lie just ahead. 
Dan is a great guitarist with an extensive resume.
