We will perform the entire "Royal Scam" album as well as selections from across the groups discography with our full band setup that consists of three lead singers, a horn section, and a full rhythm section.

Greg Hopkins

Greg Hopkins has been performing in the New England area for the past twenty years. Trumpeter, arranger/composer Hopkins played with Lonnie Smith, and Buddy Rich. Reed man Bill Pierce toured with Art Blakey and Tony Williams. Guitarist Mick Goodrick was with Jack Dejohnette and Steve Swallow. Gary Chaffee is a noted teacher of many famous drummers. Together the group exhibits a mature, hard hitting style.

"Greg Hopkins, the inspired trumpeter/composer who is one of Boston's unappreciated jazz treasures, was listed as the leader of the nonet that appeared at Scullers. On the band's debut CD Jazz! (Summit), he shares billing with pianist Chuck Marohnic and tuba player Sam Pilaflan, Arizona-based musicians who (together with drummer Dom Moio) traveled to New England for the group's East Coast debut." - Boston Globe

Johnny Rodgers Band
with Brian Glassman, Danny Mallon, Joe Ravo and Johnny Rodgers

Nationally acclaimed award winning singer-songwriter-pianist, Johnny Rodgers and the Johnny Rodgers Bands music defies classification, blending the sophistication of jazz with the driving energy of pop, rock and roll. Show Business Weekly says Rodgers performs his own songs as a "combination of Elton John, Billy Joel and James Taylor all rolled into one," and noted New York critic Rex Reed "described him as "a finger popping pianist with range and style."

Rodgers' song "Home to Mendocino" was just declared a winner in the Billboard Magazine World Song Contest. The JRB recorded twelve of Johnnys self penned songs (including Mendocino) for the critically acclaimed debut album Box of Photographs, which featured Grammy Award winner Randy Brecker as guest artist on several tracks.

In between gigs and recording sessions with the Band, Johnny Rodgers is also currently touring Europe and North America with the legendary Oscar, Tony and Emmy Award winning superstar Liza Minnelli, with whom he will be filming her forthcoming TV special this summer in Vancouver.

Exploding on the music scene like a supernova, Daniel Fernandez of Miamis El Nuevo Herald raves "Rodgers group is excellent and I would not know where to start. &a composer and spectacular pianist, the singer is a true dynamo on stage, who jumps from one style to another with the ease of an expert trapezist: jazz, pop, rock" His versatility is uncommon and very authentic."
