Host Ralph Sutton is a long-time veteran of television and radio with his own built-in
international fan base. Sutton currently hosts The Tour Bus, a nationally broadcast rock radio
show syndicated in 50 markets across the nation and re-broadcast worldwide on the Internet. The
show boasts nearly one million listeners nationwide, ranking it number one with both men and
women in several key age demographics including the coveted 25-49 bracket. In 2014 Ralph
started The SDR Show, a podcast with comedian Big Jay Oakerson, and within months – it
exploded into the #1 spot in comedy on iTunes and #11 overall, it spent all of April 2015 in the
top 20 of iTunes comedy, plus the sho2w was signed to All Things Comedy – one of the biggest
comedy podcast networks. The show is already getting close to 500,000 listeners a month, and
growing exponentially.
Besides his radio show, and podcast – Sutton has become the go-to guy to host rock events
across the country including The Shiprocked and Motorhead cruises since they both began, The
Full Throttle Saloon at The Sturgis Rally for 6 years, and The M3 Rock Festival. Ralph has been
a host on VH-1 Classic and a celebrity commentator on VH-1’s 40 Bad Metal Songs. He’s
written content for various websites and magazines, including Metal Edge, Metal Insider,
YourTango, Social Underground, and more. Sutton was also the subject of the highest rated
episode of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy in the popular show’s history.
With the rise in popularity of his podcast, his newly found talent as an auctioneer (quadrupling
the money goal for Cancer Sucks charity events three years in a row), two new TV shows in
development, and The Tour Bus signing several new stations this year – Ralph is ready to make
2015 his biggest year yet.
