Episode 51 – Old Dominion

This Week On Walking The Floor

About The Guest

The band members of Old Dominion are lead singer Matthew Ramsey, Trevor Rosen on guitar and keyboard, Whit Sellers on drums, Geoff Sprung on bass, and Brad Tursi on guitar. “Old Dominion” was chosen as the name of the band because it is a nickname for the state of Virginia, and four members of the group have links to Virginia. After high school, Ramsey went to Virginia Commonwealth University and moved to Nashville after graduation to become a songwriter. He was introduced to Rosen in 2003, and formed a songwriting partnership while working as a solo artist. Sellers went to James Madison University in Virginia, where he met Sprung and Tursi. Sellers and Sprung also ended up in Nashville, where they joined forces with Ramsey and formed Old Dominion. Tursi, who was once a member of the rock band Army of Me, joined the band in 2012.
