When it comes to modern rock music, the most rollicking tunes are often found in the most basic form of a band: the duo. A guitar and a drum kit are about all you need anyway, right?
Rooster Blues, now residing in Hattiesburg, is a versatile blues/rock band with elements of bluegrass that puts on a face-melting rock show as easily as it can sing a song of warm harmony. Judson is the lead guitarist and vocalist for the band, while Joel plays drums and mandolin and shares vocals as well.
The overall sound of Rooster Blues is scattered, ranging from the low rumble of the Delta blues to the epic explosion of a Jimi Hendrix jam. The band also surprises by being equally capable of playing harmonious and rhythmic bluegrass tunes, best exemplified in the band?s string-only arrangement ?Love You Still.?
The band is constantly changing its live set lists, which makes any show completely unpredictable for the audience. It also plays a fair amount of song covers that include Hendrix and Neil Young. According to the band?s biography, Judson is classically trained in piano and learned how to play the guitar by ear. Joel began playing the drums in 2001 with an emphasis on jazz improvisation, funk and rock and roll. Improvisation is also a talent that Rooster Blues has. Hendrix was well known for consistently surprising audiences with his improvisational guitar antics, and Rooster Blues works the same way.
Show starts at 10pm
