Bio
ve prisoners of Rock ‘n Roll, the members of this band served their musical hard time in low-down Texas blues bars, Memphis juke joints, Detroit rock clubs and legendary hangouts up and down LA’s Sunset Strip. When their sentences were up, each musician made his way to Portland, looking for a fresh start with careers, families and mortgages. But the boogie was in these boys, and it had to come out. The backbeat beckoned, and the backsliding began. They went looking for trouble and found it, forming The Troublemakers in 2004. Along with bands like The Blasters, NRBQ and Los Lobos, The Troublemakers are keepers of the flame for American roots music. It’s Chuck Berry, Muddy Waters, Gene Vincent, Johnny Cash and all their musical descendants; the proud tradition of three chords and a bad attitude. When they take the stage, The Troublemakers have one mission - to keep the dance floor packed, to keep the beer flowing and to play every note as if their lives depended on it which, in a way, it does…because this band knows there’s No Parole from Rock ‘n Roll.
