Biography
“TC & the Roadmasters”
TC DeLisle - vocals, guitar, keys
The Slideman drives his band like a man possessed. Leading the Roadmasters through their shows while switch hitting on guitar and keys, the old man shouts out the colorful stories.
Marty King - drums & vocals
Boulevard Mard, sets out the groove that drives the juggernaut across the musical landscape.
Chuck Rule - bass & vocals
Locking on the groove like a pair of Vise-Grips on a rusty bolt, this man plays the money notes that puts them happy feet on the dance floor.
Jim Morris - guitar & vocals
Veteran axe man, teacher of the instrument and the band's musical arranger, Jim brings a variety of skills to the performance table.
This is a group of musicians who aren’t descendants of famous players or lived the blues life that so much hype is slung about. They are a group of talented performers who have found that magic combo of ingredients necessary to make real good music together. Like a recipe that has just the right amount of spices to turn an ordinary plate of food into a dish that appeals to a broad cross section of hungry but discerning diners, the band has found that chemistry that produces a good time for all involved. Rhythmically, the band lays down a nice fat groove, with a deep pocket providing the lead vocal or instrument a solid platform to deliver from. Moving smoothly from traditional Blues shuffles & swings to driving urban blues, they strive to entertain, not just play the song. Good interaction with the crowd is what bridges the gap from a diversion to a focal point of looking and listening pleasure.
Their original material tells tales of life ranging from tongue in cheek humor to remorse for past behaviors.
