It's finally here!

Thanks to our family of friends at PBS station KVIE in Sacramento, California, Sierra Nevada Brewing Company  and Peter Berkow - their producer - we are shooting a fantastic HD special program this Thursday that is looking like it's going to be historical.  Special guests are Ray Manzarek (The Doors) and Ramblin' Jack Elliott  +  also, Carlos Reyes - one of the most amazing musicians you will ever hear.  Look for this program in late fall for PBS pledge drives!

More fall dates to be announced soon!

Here's what happened:

On June 12th, at Saturday nights benefit concert in Guerneville (Sonoma County, California) after the power went out during the show, Roy Rogers suffered severe chest pain and was taken by ambulance to Sutter Hospital in Santa Rosa.  A quick on their feet Emergency Team & Cardiology unit assessed the pain, diagnosed and treated a mild heart attack.  A stint was inserted quickly and he is now resting and recovering well.

“God pulled the plug on the power so that he wouldn’t have to pull the plug on you,” said long time fan and co-writer Donna Johnston.
As the Doctors told Roy  - “It wasn’t your time.”

We had a fantastic time in Italy with the sold out Tribute Shows to Umberto Tonello.  This included a first visit to Sardinia's newest Jazz Club, Birdland. Sardinia is an incredible island off the Italian Riveria coast and the sold out crowd welcomed Roy with open arms.  So fun!  Thanks to Paolo Bonfonti and all of his associates in Northern Italy for making this tour so successful.

Now we're back and some choice shows to look forward to as we welcome Summer weather in Northern California.

Head on over to the Russian River this week - end and catch Roy and the band at the benefit concert event "Keeping The Blues Alive" for the Guernville community. (June 12th)  Then comes a nice outdoor Father's Day concert in the park in Ukiah the following week-end. (June 20th)

In addition, we are gearing up for Roy Rogers & The Delta Rhythm Kings June 24th HD taping at KVIE studios for PBS. Very exciting!  Special Guests include Ray Manzarek, Ramblin' Jack Elliott and Carlos Reyes.

More shows to be added each week - so check the website often. As always, thanks for supporting live music!  Travel safe this summer!    

On our way to Italy for to be with some very special friends in Tribute to Roy's long time agent and freind Umberto Tonello, who passed away last year.  Umberto was one a special man, and rare human being with a huge heart for the blues.  We are hitting some different venues and cities this time in Italy, Roy performing with Paolo Bonfanti Band and also duets with Paolo - in a rare series of shows.
