Joe Grushecky grew up in the coal mining town of Biddle, Pittsburgh, but after seeing the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show, he soon picked up a guitar and saw a future in rock. A special education teacher by day, his Iron City Houserockers were signed to Cleveland International (home of Meat Loaf/Jim Steinman, Ronnie Spector, Ian Hunter). The Houserockers' journey continued across labels with contributions from Hunter, Mick Ronson (David Bowie), "Little Steven" Van Zandt and Bruce Springsteen.
Now Joe and The Houserockers are releasing their first new album in seven years. Can't Outrun A Memory contains 13 Grushecky originals as well as a brilliant cover of The Animals classic "We Gotta Get Out Of This Place." 17 tracks of pure rock 'n' roll performed by the hardest working man and band in Pittsburgh. Can't Outrun A Memory shows that Grushecky and his crew can still deliver the same driving music they have for decades.
