The Red Sox Rock is the creation of Ludlow, MA composer Ted Chmura III, with major contributions by Charles "Chello" Vadnais, and Mike Bouchard.  The song began life as a looping 7-note keyboard "ditty" with the phrase "Red Sox Rock" sung repeatedly in "Call and Response" style.  A full 3-minute version with 2 verses and a tasty guitar solo "grew" around this foundation and makes up what we now call the Red Sox Rock - Radio Mix.

In addition to this full length version, 3 other versions currently exist:

• The Red Sox Rock - Rally Mix.  This 36 second mix (which plays in the backround when you land on the Home Page) is designed to fire up the crowd during the game at Fenway.  As the lead vocalist sings "The Red Sox Rock", the crowd responds - echoing with "The Red Sox Rock"!
   
• The Red Sox Rock - Karaoke Mix.  This full length version has the lead vocals removed.  Hopefully, we'll be hearing the Red Sox Rock from every Karaoke Club in and around Beantown.
   
• The Red Sox Rock - Instrumental.  If all goes according to plan, we'll be hearing this behind commercials, sports shows, and newscasts soon.  Stay tuned!

The Back-Story...

It was June or July '03.  I was in my basement studio trying to get some writing done...if it wasn't for the Sox game on the tube.  They'd rallied from behind to win and that special joy a sports fan feels rushed through me again.

It was shortly after I turned the game off and returned to my keyboard that the light went on in my head - the keyboard lick I'd written a few nights back would serve wonderfully as the main theme of a rally song for the Red Sox!

It's not that I felt they needed a rally song of their own, but hey - they deserve it!  And I've got a feeling that Sox fans everywhere are gonna enjoy chanting "The Red Sox Rock" at the top of their lungs.

Fast-forward to early 2007...after almost 30,000 downloads of the song from I get an offer by Live Studio Drums owner Frank Basile to have him add his awesome playing to the song. Turns out he's a big Red Sox fan. So he adds his tasty tracks and we remix and re-release the tune in May of '07.

So - download it; play it; sing it; scream it; taunt your Yankee-Fan Friends with it; call your local radio station and request it; get a copy to your friends - let's have a blast as we lift up and support our Sox!
