Roger Earl

It's Rock Royalty in the house today.

Honored to welcome one of the original founding members of Foghat, Roger Earl, and current lineup lead singer Scott Holt.

Welcome, guys, to Music Drives Us.

Hey man, how you doing? Good morning.

It continues to be fun.

Somebody asked me the other day if we've had a bad show.

I can't remember one bad time I've ever had on stage playing with you.

That's

But but, you know, there's no we know that Ian doesn't write just like John Lord isn't that kind of a writer as well.

Roger Earl in Foghat, the last standing, the senior member, the guy running the whole band with his wife, of course.

Um, and, um, so he's a, he's an important part of that band.

Uh, he, he brings the legitimacy of that band.

Now is the time to speak your mind Frustrations

I'm Mark Strigl, and I have an interview for you today with Scott Holt, an incredible musician, vocalist, guitar player in Foghat, a guy who has a history with the band, but obviously he wasn't there way back when the band started in 1971 when a few of the guys from Savoy Brown... formed a new group and then they would include uh lonesome the late lonesome dave peveritt and roger earl drummer who's still playing with fog hat to this day uh so yeah we will get into my interview with uh scott holt of fog hats soon i love talking with him he had quite quite the history and i got a very cool or interesting johnny carson's story out of him um Yeah.

So, yeah, not much going on.

Interviewing Lita Ford on Sirius XM, Ozzy's Boneyard.

Can you talk about... who the current lineup of Foghat is, including yourself, and where the album was recorded.

Sure.

Obviously, the drummer is Roger Earl.

He's been the drummer for Foghat the entire time, so he's the captain of the ship, so to speak.

I didn't understand what a huge rock and roll fan he is.

I got to BSing with him today, and I had Roger Earl on.

They're playing Toad's Place in New Haven the day after tomorrow.

He's doing a whole documentary on Toad's Place.

I don't know if that was later, but he was in, in Island Records, and he was very g- I liked his drumming.

And, uh, another guy who played in a band later called Foghat, Roger Earl he was called.

And so we had to pay these drummers, so we got enough money to pay these drummers.

And then I tried to... then wanted to get a record deal, so had to get a record deal.

I think a lot-

Is Roger, Roger still going? Roger Earl still going.

Yeah.

He's a monster on drums.

Wow
