Interview with FOGHAT
We had the pleasure of interviewing Foghat over Zoom video!\xa0
Foghat celebrates their 50th anniversary this year, and their live performances show why the band is still around and why they will be able to keep on rockin\u2019 as long as they want to play! Their music is timeless, and touring is part of their DNA. Foghat\u2019s live show is as intense as ever with the incredible energy and musicianship that one would expect and hope for from a seasoned band with such a long musical history and they are bringing their fans along for the ride. These guys just love to play! And now, after 1-1/2 years off due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, they are more than ready to get out there and rock again, with many shows booked for the second half of 2021!
Foghat fans are everywhere and their audience consists of all ages. From the young who play Guitar Hero III and know all the lyrics to \u201cSlow Ride,\u201d to the Dazed & Confused generation of 30-40 somethings and the \u201cboomers\u201d who bought Foghat\u2019s first vinyl or 8-track! Looking out at the audience and seeing all generations rockin\u2019 to Foghat is very gratifying to the band. According to lead singer Charlie Huhn, \u201cThe band just wants to make sure that after every show, they are all convinced that they just got rocked, from the second we start the first song to the end of the show.\u201d
Formed in 1971 when Lonesome Dave Peverett & Roger Earl left the British blues-rock band, Savoy Brown, Foghat has earned eight Gold records, one Platinum record and one Double-Platinum record. They continue to release new music every few years and have never stopped touring and recording although there have been several ups and downs and changes over the years. They sadly lost Lonesome Dave Peverett in 2000 and Rod Price in 2005, but Roger Earl keeps banging and kicking to keep Foghat\u2019s musical legacy going.
If Foghat had only given us \u201cSlow Ride,\u201d the band\u2019s place in rock history would be secure. But the band is so much more than that. As stated by Roger Earl, \u201cwe are still a \u2018work in progress,\u2019 writing and recording and plan to be until the day we depart this earth.\u201d
The band has started work on yet another Blues/Rock Studio Album to be released in 2022)! So, stay tuned, you cannot keep these boys down!
