Happy Rhodes Biography

Happy Rhodes is one of the most popular and richest Musician who was born on August 9, 1965 in Poughkeepsie, New York, United States. Kimberley Tyler Rhodes was born. She has been called “Happy” ever since she was a baby. At age 16, she changed her legal name to Happy Tyler Rhodes. Vernon H. Rhodes Jr. is Rhodes’ distant relative. Her first name, Kimberley, is named after the Kimberley diamond mines. Her middle name, Tyler, is named after Mary Tyler Moore, an American actress. Both were friends of Rhodes’ mother Susan D. Stamper and took classes at the New York City Ballet. Dave Stamper, Rhodes’ maternal grandfather, wrote the songs for the Ziegfeld Follies from 1913 to 1931 and also composed the music for many other Broadway shows. According to family legend, Stamper wrote the famous song “Shine On, Harvest Moon” for Nora Bayes in 1903 while he was her Vaudeville piano accompanist. He then sold the rights and credit of the song to Bayes, her husband Jack Norworth, and the rest to Bayes. When Rhodes was young, her parents divorced. Rhodes is a twin to two brothers.

Rhodes’ first four albums had been co-produced by Pat Tessitore, Rhodes and Kevin Bartlett. Warpaint, her 1991 album, was the first product of their collaboration and featured musicians other than Rhodes. The two formed a duo called “Bartlett/Rhodes” during this time. The two recorded a number co- written songs, played a few dates and were unsuccessful. They decided to keep going with their own endeavors. Equipoise was an album of new material, and Rhodesongs was a compilation of music from Rhodes’ first four albums, alternate versions and a David Bowie Cover. The 1994 album Building the Colossus featured a cover that reflected Rhodes’ technical-oriented fan base. It had an album subhead of “c.happy Rhodes” and featured Peter Gabriel collaborators Jerry Marotta, David Torn, and others. The 1995 compilation The Keep was the culmination of this extremely productive period. It featured acoustic versions earlier songs and a mix of songs from Yes.

Most of her live shows have been in the northeast of America, primarily Philadelphia and New York City. Rhodes has sold out every show she’s performed in Philadelphia when she was the headliner. She has performed several times at the Tin Angel, where she always plays two shows in an evening. Rhodes has also played The Middle East Club in 1995, the Mann Theater (opening for 10,000 Maniacs) and the University Museum Auditorium, both in 1992. In New York City Rhodes has played the Bottom Line several times. In 1994 Rhodes performed at YesFest, a convention for fans of the band Yes. She has also performed at the Knitting Factory in New York City as a guest of the band Project Lo.

After having entertained a number of traditional record company offers, and rejecting them due to an unwillingness to give up rights to her music, Rhodes assumed production and engineering duties on the 1998 release Many Worlds Are Born Tonight. Once the album was complete, she signed with a new label, Samson Music, and was able to tour the northeastern United States with a more elaborate stage show. The song Roy was released as a single and reached #42 on the Billboard Club Play/Dance Music chart. While sales were far greater than her previous albums, Samson eventually decided to concentrate on their Gold Circle Films division and dropped Rhodes. The parting was amicable, and the label returned her musical rights, as well as all unsold product.

Tessitore introduced Rhodes, a musician with his own label, Aural Gratification to Kevin Bartlett. He encouraged her to collect all the songs she had recorded and release them on cassette. In 1986, Rhodes Vol. was released on three cassettes. She had enough songs. I, Rhodes Vol. II, and Rearmament. She released Ecto on cassette in 1987. Warpaint was her first CD release in 1991. The four first albums were originally only available on cassettes, but they were re-released on CD by the same label in 1992. Rhodes Vol. is the CD release. I was renamed Rhodes I and Rhodes Vol. II was renamed Rhodes II. Each CD re-release contained bonus tracks that were not on the original cassettes. Aural Gratification issued nine Happy Rhodes albums from 1986 to 1995. These included Equipoise, RhodeSongs and Building The Colossus (1993), Building The Colossus (1994) and The Keep ( 1995). Rhodes left Aural Gratification when he was in 1998.

Happy Rhodes (born Kimberley Taylor Rhodes on August 9, 1965) was an American singer, songwriter and instrumentalist. She has released 11 albums between 1986 – 2007. She retired in 2016 and began singing with Security Project. This Peter Gabriel appreciation band sang her lead in 11 shows in 2016, 17 shows in 2017 and 8 more in 2018. [1]

The first four albums she recorded, Rhodes Volume I (1986), Rhodes Volume II (86), Rearmament (1986), and Ecto (1987), were not intended to be album releases. They were instead a collection of songs that were recorded at Cathedral Sound Studios over many years. Rhodes sorted through her songs and ordered the songs to her satisfaction when Kevin Bartlett, a fellow musician, offered to put Rhodes’ songs on Aural Gratification’s cassette-only personal label. Fans often consider Rhodes I and Rhodes II to be a double album because of their similar themes and instrumentation. Rearmament, the third cassette, features more electronic instrumentation, and is often influenced by Wendy Carlos. The fourth cassette, Ecto contained more of Rhodes’ most recent songs and is more complex. It foreshadows the music Rhodes would create in the future.

In 1991, Rhodes developed a following in Philadelphia through airplay on WXPN- FM. Her song “Feed The Fire” (from her album Warpaint) was said to be one of the station’s most requested songs of 1991. Rhodes has received airplay and has been interviewed on radio shows such as the syndicated programs Echoes, and The World Cafe. She has received airplay on Morning Becomes Eclectic from KCRW in Santa Monica, CA, and WDST in Woodstock, NY, where Rhodes lived for a time, appearing on the compilation Alternative Woodstock.
