Although Roger has always loved the Blues, during his senior year in college a childhood friend came to visit.  His friend had a book of Muddy Waters songs.  After playing a couple of tunes from the book, he was hooked on the blues and has been hooked ever since.  He has spent his last 10 years in Washington after transplanting from sunny California (but  don't hold that against him). 

He has played with a number of bands in the greater Seattle area including:  Last Call, Isaac and the Jr. Mints, the Gypsy Soul Rockers, Temporary Fix, the Julie Powers Band and a Blues power trio he fronted - Diamond Ridge.  He very much enjoys sharing the Blues music with the rest of the world.

He formed Cold Shot a couple of years ago and is having more fun than Bill Clinton at intern orientation.
