Old Pike Biography by Ryan Downey

Old Pike were a five-man rock & roll band from Bloomington, IN, whose music was heavily influenced by Bruce Springsteen (most obviously apparent in frontman Tim Jones' phrasing and stage presence) and fellow Hoosier John Mellencamp. Anthem-like choruses, sentimental wordplay, murmuring organ, and a steady backbeat anchored Old Pike's somewhat alternative country take on rock music until they disbanded in the year 2000, after which point guitarist/songwriter Carl Broemel joined My Morning Jacket and frontman Jones formed Truth & Salvage Co.
