Acrpost: A Project of the Pacific Association of Artist Run Centres

Event Description

“The Chicago Tribune” describes Rocker’s playing as “muscular and passionate.” “The Washington Post” says his music consists of “impressive, catchy, driving original songs, frantic romps, finger-snapping swing and brooding slow blues.” “Rolling Stone” declares, “Lee Rocker's singing naturally captures the spirit of rock 'n' roll. His catchy, well-written songs are very difficult to get out of your head.” With musical muscle from his road-tested band (guitarists Brophy Dale and Buzz Campbell, and drummer Jimmy Sage) “Racin’ The Devil” is Rocker’s most diverse album yet, and a roots music fan’s dream come true. The CD features twelve songs of scorching rockabilly, roadhouse romps and straight-ahead, old-school rock ‘n’ roll, highlighted by nine originals that are by far the strongest of his career. And his reinventions of The Stray Cats mega-hit “Rock This Town” and his first post-Cats band Phantom, Rocker & Slick’s “Running From The Hounds” are foot-stomping and ecstatic statements of pure joy.
