Pat Roberts and the Heymakers (AZ)

Facebook

Pat Roberts and the Heymakers are the traditional, roots, and rockabilly veterans from Phoenix, Arizona. Featured: Pat Roberts on gui­tar and vocals, Doc Screamer on upright bass, and Jimmy Pines on drums.

"Take equal parts rock­a­billy, clas­sic coun­try, honky tonk, and Bak­ers­field, mix them all together, and toss in a great gui­tar player, a rock-solid rhythm sec­tion, and some tasty guest appear­ances on key­boards and pedal steel. Then, chan­nel the ghost of Roy Orbi­son and the spirit of (the still-living and still-great) Sleepy LaBeef into the vocals and what do you get? Lone­some and Blue, the band’s first release, serves as a mod­ern trib­ute to clas­sic coun­try and rock­a­billy and is a thor­oughly enjoy­able record for any­one who loves these gen­res."

-Buster Fayte, Rockabilly Romp

Trevor and the Swingin’ Johnsons are Las Vegas’s newest tribute to the soulful sounds of the past.  With an emphasis on Jump Blues, TSJ harkens back to the risqué rhythms of the 1940’s, 50’s, and 60’s, while paying homage to the greatest musical minds of their day. The lineup of musicians and contemporary expression breathes new life into the Swing/Jazz standards. The band not only maintains an authentic retro sound, but a retro aesthetic as well.
