The Rock House All Stars reinvents the band’s classic album available on Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music, YouTube, Soundcloud, BandCamp and many other global outlets.

Co-producers John Heithaus and multi-Grammy® winner Kevin McKendree revisit STAGE FRIGHT to reinvent the avant-garde LP of one of rock’s most important groups. STAGE FRIGHT at 50 – An Ovation from Nashville presents an eclectic 16-piece ensemble featuring original performances inspired by America’s veterans and award-winning and Grammy® nominated artists, as well as outstanding young singers representing the next generation of emerging hitmakers of Nashville.

Released in 1970, Stage Fright has since been widely recognized as the foremost founding authority in American roots music, fusing rock, country and blues influences – and inspiring countless songwriters and musicians around the world. Our Ovation strives to thoughtfully reinvent these 10 classic songs with stellar, root-influenced musical arrangements complemented by our singers’ fresh artistic renditions of each song – exploring a wide range of emotions that all humans share. : peace, escape, introspection, frivolity and Suite.

With renewed respect and admiration for MM. Danko, Helm, Hudson, Manuel and Robertson, we are delighted to present Stage Fright At 50 – An Ovation from Nashville.

The album will be available on all streaming platforms and, by physical CD and vinyl HERE. All social media can be found on @stagefrightovation and You Tube.
