Local roots rockers Roadhouse celebrate their 20th anniversary show at the Boom Boom Club/Sutton Utd FC on Sunday 5th July with special guests, their former guitarist Jules Fothergill’s Northsyde.

Promoting their best ever album ‘Sea of Souls’ – which has remarkably become their fourth album to gain major FM radio air play in the US – Roadhouse celebrate their 20th year on the road.

Still led by the immensely talented song writer, guitarist and vocalist Gary Boner, Roadhouse are a riff driven anthemic rock band whose 9 album career spans southern rock and rock-blues.

The band who feature the unique 3 female front line vocals of Mandy Graham, Suzie Dingle and Kelly Joe Hobbs, also boast the formidable twin guitar line-up of Gary Boner and Danny Gwillym and have frequently been compared to artists such as Lynyrd Skynyrd, Neil Young and Walter Trout.

Gary Boner’s songs such as ‘Preacher Man’ and ‘Voodoo Queen’ are up there with the best American anthemic rock songs ever written and the fact that the band are internationally air played from Croatia to California is testament to Boner’s song writing skills.

“The days of guitar driven songs about dark desert highways never really disappeared. They just became part of the brilliant Gary Boner song writing tapestry, to be found on several Roadhouse albums such as Sea of Souls, No Place To Hide and Blues Highway, all of which just like the band live, are hugely recommended”. www.getreadytorock.com Special guests are Jules and Lorna Fothergill’s Northsyde. Previously Raodhouse’s lead guitarist Jules went on to form Funkydory and now launches his brand new band.
