Formed in 1971 when Roger Earl & Lonesome Dave Peverett left Savoy Brown, Foghat exploded onto the music scene with their 1972 debut album featuring the hit single “I Just Want to Make Love to You.” But it was their 1975 release “Fool for the City,” which included the iconic track “SLOW RIDE,” that cemented their place in rock n’ roll history! Known for their electrifying live performances, their 1977 release of “Foghat LIVE,” proved that they were a band to be experienced live!
In November of 2023, Foghat celebrated a major achievement with their album “SONIC MOJO,” debuting at #1 on the Billboard Blues Charts and holding a Top 10 position for an impressive 27 weeks straight. The band was truly honored by the response! The current lineup—featuring Roger Earl on drums, Bryan Bassett (formerly of Molly Hatchet & Wild Cherry) on lead/slide guitar, Scott Holt (formerly with Buddy Guy) on lead vocals and guitar, and Rodney O’Quinn (from the Pat Travers Band) on bass and vocals—continues to honor the band’s original spirit while infusing their performances with infectious boogie & relentless energy.
With Roger Earl’s steadfast leadership across 53 years, Foghat remains a driving force in rock music. Their music transcends time, resonating deeply with fans of all ages and solidifying their status as one of the most beloved acts in rock history. As they continue to tour and inspire, Foghat’s passion for rock ‘n’ roll ensures their legacy will endure for generations to come.
