Roadhouse one of the UK’s most leading blues and rock bands has released on June 20th their new CD ‘Sea Of Souls’. The band was formed in 1991 by Gary Boner, ably assisted throughout by the driving bass of Bill Hobley and the the powerful drumming of Roger Hunt. Seizing on an eclectic mix of influences from Lynyrd Skynyrd to Creedence Clearwater Revival, the band has developed a sound all of its own.
In the words of a recent Blues Matters review: "They veer towards the rocky side of the blues, but are clearly blues based and play in a punchy style with musicianship of the highest quality". Having played over 2000 gigs in the years since the band have kept their sets consistently thrilling, mainly thanks to prolific song writing from Boner and a carefully tailored mix of original and cover material. The band's gig diary is peppered with dates at many prestigious venues, such as The Marquee, The Cartoon, The Borderline, The Worcester Park Club, etc. Over the last 24 years, Roadhouse have also played at many major Blues festivals, including: The Guiness Blues Festival, Castlebar, Ireland; The Merton Abbey Mills Blues Festival, London; The Boogaloo Blues Festival, Bognor; The Isle Of Wight Blues Festival, Norton Grange; The Colne Blues Festival, Lancashire; The Festival of Blues and Rock, Skegness.
The band has also built up a successful routine of 10 album releases, of which ‘Sea Of Souls’ is their latest one. In September the band will do a CD-presentation trough a short tour in the Netherlands and Belgium. Next dates are all ready confirmed.
