Texas Style Heavy Blues-Rock on Steroids!"
Since 1999, the Rex Carroll Band has been providing a superb offering of infectious blues oriented heavy rock with a sound as deep as Mississippi mud, liberally sprinkled with huge doses of Texas style guitar slinging and layered with metal fireworks!
This powerful trio delivers a sound built on jaw-dropping, heart-pounding displays of rock guitar brilliance piled one on top of the other. They take it even further with great, well-written songs, years of touring Mojo and emotional, smoky back room vocals courtesy of Rex Carroll himself. Baked at HIGH on the Fahrenheit Meter, they then serve it up on a big, fat Rock n' Roll platter for your enjoyment!
Drawing from his diverse and formidable roots as the founding member and lead guitarist of the internationally known group Whitecross, Rex Carroll is considered by many people to be one of the most extraordinary rock guitarists in the world. From neo-classical metal fireworks to rough and tumble gritty blues, Carroll delivers a sound unique and familiar all at the same time and it's a formula that WORKS!
From their humble beginnings playing the Midwest club circuit to key dates like the Harley-Davidson 100th Anniversary and Legends of Rock along with the recent release of their debut CD, "That Was Then, This Is Now," they're moving on to national and international audiences supported by strong sales, outstanding reviews and a growing fan base!
The Rex Carroll Band draws upon the great southern-rock tradition of bands such as ZZ Top, the Allman Brothers Band and the late, great Stevie Ray Vaughan to infuse their sound with some of all-out shredding rocker mentality Rex is known for. "It's Fuel-Injected and Rex-Infested!"
Things are looking great for this power trio based out of North Illinois! So hop on the bike, fire up the grill or simply crank up the volume knob. The party's just getting started!
