About Roadhouse:
Roadhouse was formed in 1991 by Gary Boner, ably assisted
throughout by the driving bass of Bill Hobley and the powerful drumming of
Roger Hunt. Seizing on an eclectic mix of influences from Lynyrd Skynyrd to
Creedence, 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". They
can be proud ofw riting and performing some of the most powerful, original blues
/ rock
music of this
generation".
