Artist description A hard core trio that sometimes enlists the help of a saxophone, the ROCKIN' DADDYS can electrify the room with a rocker or a funky tune one minute then play a slow, smoldering blues so hot that the audience is spellbound the next!The heart of this band is singer/songwriter Blue Fox, a string bending wildman with the subtlety and sensitivity of a true blues artist. Add one rock solid, swinging, funky, tongue in groove (emphasis on groove) rhythm section you've got something to write home about!

Press Reviews Seven Days Newspaper says: "The Rockin' Daddys make it sound easy - guys who've played long enough to know the zen, as it were, of rock 'n' roll. These Burlington-based 'rents maintain the tradition of other power trios in rock history: ultra-strength guitar (played by Blue Fox) and a tongue-in-groove - emphasis on the groove - rhythm section... The Daddys hit their stride on the recording when Fox is focused on guitar and harmonica. It's a little-blind-lemon-slim-harpo-guitar-junior sor of thing, performed with consummate abandon. From a simple Delta ditty by Robert Johnson to the walking blues satire, "I Love My TV" to the full-mojo of "Bar Room Boogie," The Rockin' Daddys are a hip-shakin' operation."
