Bio
The sound is Eerie Americana. It is like warm dirt & sex. It all is held together with a unified sound and a beautiful gravely voice. This artist stands easily in the ranks of Tom Waits and Nick Cave with on stage presence like BRMC and on two solid artistic feet of their own. On Upright Bass is Sean Dumke, James Redding on guitar and keys, Troy is on the sax and keeping everyone in trouble but on time is Dave Zimmerman on the skins. John fronts the band and plays guitar.

Just a quick thanks for the gig on Saturday. We had a great time playing and look forward to the next time. I think you guys should wear face paint every time you play.

“As far as the other great media genres are concerned, John McLaughlin and the Rogues may be comparable to an abstract painting, an...obscure yet valuable corners of the musical world.
John McLaughlin and the Rogues sound hit somewhere between dark Americana, dieselpunk, and “eerie graveyard blues.”
The album is well orchestrated, but the band is best in a live setting. The group has a certain cohesion that is akin to what you might find in an experienced jazz combo. Their solid percussion, jazzy bass, and piano combine to form a strong rhythm section. Trumpet accents, growly vocals and guitar solos further compliment their Tom Waits-esque sound. If you have an ear to lend and an open mind, John McLaughlin and Rogues will certainly deliver.
