A little while ago, I got a request from "Big D" down at WWOZ in New Orleans for a CD.  We get those once in a while, so I sent if off.  This week, Buddy was down there last week for the Jazz and Heritage Festival.  He came back talking about this great radio station down there that everybody listens too....WWOZ.  I said "Hey I think they're playin' our stuff there".  So I checked Big D's playlist, and sure enough, there we were.  So, run out on the web and check out WWOZ on the web, and listen to the webcast live.

The official distributor of CD's for the International Blues Competition was BandVillage.com.  They now have our CD in stock.

We're Back!  We've a whole set of photos from the competition.  The band had a great time, met lots of great people, and heard lots of great BLUES.  We would really like to thank those die hard fans: Randy, Bill, Barry and Sue, who followed us down to Memphis and supported us all week!  You guys are great!  We'd also like to thank all our family members for their support.

As you can see above we also have a new Guestbook.  Please swing by and sign it.

Due to technical difficulties, the IBC portion of the radio show will not air.  Sorry for the false Alarm.  Roundhouse is still happy to have been selected.

On January 21 and 22, the nationally-syndicated House of Blues Radio Hour hosted by Elwood Blues (a.k.a. Dan Aykroyd) will feature songs from 11 of the approximately 130 bands competing in the 2006 International Blues Competition (IBC).  Among those 11 bands featured will be the local band ROUNDHOUSE.  The band received notice last week that “Close That Window” from their freshman release “ROUNDHOUSE” will be aired in recognition of the up coming competition in Memphis.

We've also updated the Photos page to include some pictures from our November 12 show in Stratham, NH.

Winning this local competition gives us a slot in the Blues Foundation's 2006 International Blues Competition.  The competition is held every winter on the famous Beale Street in Memphis, TN.

From coffeehouses to concert halls, festivals and beyond, John Hammond has spent forty years entertaining blues, folk and rock audiences around the world, performing intense solo-acoustic blues. A Grammy Award winner and four time nominee, Hammond is also a multiple W.C. Handy award winner who has shared the stage and/or recorded with many of the masters, including Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, John Lee Hooker and Howlin' Wolf. John has recorded over twenty five albums and his passionate commitment to traditional blues made him the natural choice to host the BRAVO TV special and Sony Home Video, The Search for Robert Johnson. His 2003 release, Ready For Love, was produced by David Hidalgo of Los Lobos and is the perfect follow up to Wicked Grin, the acclaimed album produced by longtime friend Tom Waits and featuring all Waits' songs. Ready For Love features John's road band including Augie Meyers, Stephen Hodges, Frank Carillo and Marty Ballou playing an exciting variety of tracks including songs by George Jones, Tom Waits, David Hidalgo, Jagger and Richards, Willie Dixon, and a rare original by John himself.
