Bo Bice BIO
Bice grew up with his mother and
stepfather, Earle and Nancy Downes. The family moved around the
Southeastern United States frequently, they lived in Georgia, Alabama,
and Florida; including the metro areas of Atlanta and Birmingham. When
Bice was 15 years old they moved to England in 1990, as part of Earle's
European assignment with Coca-Cola in downtown London. Bice spent his
teenage years living in the suburbs of Gerrards Cross and Seer Green.
The family were neighbors of Ozzy Osbourne. Bice attended London Central
High School, a Department of Defense school primarily for children whose
parents served in the military or worked at the U.S. Embassy. He would
have graduated in 1994. In high school, he was found carrying his guitar
everywhere, played football, attended proms, and had several
girlfriends. It was around this time when Bice worked with some English
alternative rock musicians. In the fall of 1993, Bice dropped out of
high school just before turning 18 to move back to Alabama, where he
earned his GED and attended Calhoun Community College from November 1996
to May 1997. Upon graduating Calhoun and spending a semester at the
University of North Alabama in Florence, Bice turned professional and
performed in shows all across the United States, the United Kingdom
(including Ireland), and Eastern Europe. He is a veteran of the
nightclub circuit, having performed solo and in rock groups such as
Purge, Blue Suede Nickel, and his current band SugarMoney. Among his
credits are opening for Blackfoot and Warrant as well as performing live
and recording with Johnny Neal, formerly of The Allman Brothers Band.
Signed to RCA Records, Bice's first single, released June 21, 2005, was
his version of "Inside Your Heaven." The single debuted at #2 on the
Billboard Hot 100 Chart. The B-side was his rendition of the Ides of
March hit "Vehicle," featuring an appearance by Richie Sambora. Bice was
also invited to the Bonnaroo Music Festival by Trey Anastasio (formerly
of Phish). He sang a song with Willie Nelson at a Birmingham concert and
was invited by Nelson to perform at Farm Aid. Bice also appeared on
Carlos Santana's 2005 album All That I Am on the song "Brown Skin Girl,"
which did not appear on his own solo album.
On June 15, 2005, Bice married long-time girlfriend Caroline Fisher in
Helena. The Bices' first child, a son named Aidan Michael Bice, was born
on September 24, 2005.On July 31, 2005, Bice broke his foot while
performing in concert in Manchester, New Hampshire but carried on with
the tour. On August 18 Bice, who had been suffering from stomach pain
for months, was rushed to the hospital for emergency intestinal surgery
to remove a blockage. The surgery was successful, but he was sidelined
from the tour for several shows. During his absence from the tour,
fellow contestants Anwar, Nikko, Scott, Anthony and Constantine sang
"Sweet Home Alabama" and wore Bo Bice T-shirts. Bice returned to the
tour for the final 2 concerts in Syracuse, New York, September 10 and
September 11 (a benefit concert with proceeds going to the American Red
Cross to help victims of Hurricane Katrina). In addition, to playing
that concert, he also opened his home in Helena to a family displaced by
Hurricane Katrina. Bice continued to have health problems and was
re-admitted to the hospital for complications related to the August
intestinal surgery. Bice's solo debut album, The Real Thing, was
released on December 13, 2005. It opened at #4. The Real Thing has the
sixth-highest opening for a debut album by an American Idol finalist; it
is also noteworthy that Bo Bice is only the third non-winner (aside from
Clay Aiken and Josh Gracin) to meet reasonable success in record sales.
Bice's band SugarMoney appears with him on three tracks on The Real
Thing's DualDisc version: "Cinnamon & Novocaine," "Sinner In a Sin," and
"Whiskey, Women & Time."
