Putting together a solo career that spans two decades is tough enough, but doing it with a band that features the same personnel is rare indeed. Randy Rogers put together his band 20 years ago, and after a few changes during the first three years, he settled on a lineup that has been together 17 years now.
Joining Rogers are Brady Black, Todd Stewart, Johnny “Chops” Richardson, Geoffrey Hill and Les Lawless. It’s been a successful partnership that Rogers says he doesn’t feel like has even reached its zenith.
“We are all still brothers. Probably more so now than we’ve ever been. I hate to say we are in our prime because we have plenty to do yet.”
He said one of the keys to the band’s longevity is “we love playing, and we love playing together. We have our differences, but we deal with it.”
The band, which sold out “Austin City Limits Live” at The Moody Theater on Nov. 30, will perform Friday, Jan. 24, at The Signal. Rogers has said each member brings something different to the table, and that’s also part of the secret to their success.
