Founding member and drummer of #FOGHAT to #spillthetea about this legendary band’s 5+ decade career, and their latest #BillboardChart smash contemporary blues hit #SonicMojo which is Grammy® eligible for 2025!
In case you missed the live show, here’s the YouTube replay:
Foghat continues to captivate fans of all ages with their timeless music. The band is still touring relentlessly, performing with an energy that radiates youthful exuberance, regardless of age. Founding member and drummer Roger Earl reflects on their enduring appeal: “We had a terrific time making this record. Six original tracks and six of some of our favorite songs by other artists. It’s interesting to note that our first album in 1972 featured a Willie Dixon song, ‘I Just Want to Make Love to You,’ and a Chuck Berry song, ‘Maybellene.’ This record includes songs from both of these legendary writers! Apparently, our musical tastes haven’t changed much!”
Their latest album, “Sonic Mojo,” released on November 10, 2023, holds special meaning for Earl. Three tracks were co-written with Kim Simmonds, who gave Earl his first break in 1967 as a member of Savoy Brown. Tragically, Simmonds passed away shortly after writing these songs. The album has been incredibly well-received by fans and critics alike, serving as a fitting tribute to a band that has stood the test of time for over 50 years.
