WTF ROD?

Rod Stewart covers Roy C's "Shotgun Wedding" in 1993. I can't believe this.

We Did It!

After 5 months of band rehearsal and preparation for the big shoot, we completed the ending to Roy C. Forever. We had a 3 piece horn section, a B2 organ, drums, bass, guitar and Roy C. On opening night of the Roots N' Blues N' BBQ Festival Roy C. and his band of two days played in front of around 10,000 people. It was a beautiful night in Columbia, Missouri when Roy took the stage. The crowd was all twitter-pated after seeing The Record Collector beforehand, and there was electricity in the air.
Roy played songs that he hadn't played in 35 years he told me. (Somebody Else's Woman, From the Outside Looking In, and Impeach the President). You would not have guessed that he was 69 years old the way he stomped around like a bull.
At one point during Peeping Through the Window the crowd started chanting ROY C! ROY C! When Roy sang "My Thing is Too Short!" the crowd went dead silent. I mean you could have heard a beer drop in that crowd of thousands. Then when he came back with the chorus Peeping Through the Window, Peeping Through the Blinds the crowd erupted in laughter and he had them in the palm of his hand. It was a good scene, man!
I wish you could have all been there and I'm sure some of you were. We were able to capture the audio and the video from 8 angles so there will be a LIVE album and DVD in the near future.
It was sad to see Roy go, but he left his mark on Columbia, and we hope to have him back. Thanks Roy.

Roots N' Blues N' BBQ

The culminating moment of "Roy C. Forever" will take place Friday, October 3rd in Columbia, Missouri.
Roy C will be traveling to the middle of Missouri where he will play the Roots N' Blues N' BBQ Festival. It is a free concert and it is expected to bring in over 100,000 people this year. Roy will be playing at the 8th and Cherry St. stage opening night (Friday, OCT 3rd @ 9PM) with a full band. The band will consist of local greats that are eager to show off their talents. We will have trumpet, sax, organ, guitars, bass, drums and... ROY C! We will be filming this as the last shoot for Roy C. Forever and recording the audio for Roy's first LIVE album. Daryle Bascom will be adding to visual splendor with his Videology. Columbia is honored to host such a dynamic Soul legend, but I have a feeling they won't know what hit em'. Hope to see you all at the show and then in the movie. Check out the link to the Roots N' Blues site over on the right side of this page for more information.

Best Weekend Ever! (Back from Pomonkey)

Roy C's 50th Anniversary of live performances was probably the best party I have ever been to. Donnie Ray put it down, Lee Fields put it down, and I don't have to tell you that Roy C. put it down!.... Twice! Ryan Walker took off on this journey with me to run a camera. We flew into Baltimore and drove to Pomonkey, MD. The next day was the big show. There was a crowd of more then 2000 people of all ages at Lamont's to pay tribute to the legend Roy C. The fans of Roy C. are the most dedicated fans I have ever seen. Most of them have been fans of Roy's for over 20 years and love ALL of his songs. Roy played a 1 hour set outside and then a 50 minute set inside Lamont's club. It was a scene man! That place was packed son! We had the best time drinking with all the fans after the show and I'm sure I still owe a few of you drinks. Thank you for the best time of my life.
