Marshall, Red and Rocco may sound like fictional characters, but in reality, they are the masterminds behind Nashville-based classic rock influenced pop band Telegraph. After four years as Northern Virginia pop/rock quartet, Sing Me Insomnia, brothers Marshall (vocals) and Red Cunningham (guitar/vocals), along with best friend Wes “Rocco” Beale (bass/vocals) found themselves relocating to Nashville and relaunching as Telegraph.
With epic guitar solos, falsetto vocals, and catchy melodies, Telegraph crafts something unique yet familiar, and overall, undeniably fun. Drawing from 70/80s rock icons, Van Halen, Def Leppard, and Guns ‘n Roses, to current pop stars such as One Direction, Katy Perry, and Kelly Clarkson, Telegraph blends classic rock power and craftsmanship with modern pop production and energy. Their infectious songs earned them one of four prime spots in Belmont’s Rock Showcase, creating anticipation for their debut EP that was released in June 2014. Their music video for title track “Rewind” earned buzz online with its perfect mix of nostalgia and pop culture, and their second single “Rhinestone Chapel” was a strong follow-up with the track premiere on Idolator and the music video premiere on HitFix. Be on the lookout for what Telegraph has coming; these guys are bound to surprise you.
