FOGHAT // HEAD EAST
Advertisement
2026, and after 55 years, Foghat is still going as strong as ever! Last year, they celebrated 50 years of “Slow Ride,” the timeless anthem that put them on the global map and has not let up since. It all exploded in 1975 with Fool for the City, their double-platinum masterpiece featuring the now-legendary track “Slow Ride.” Just two years later, Foghat Live went multi-platinum and cemented their rep as one of rock’s most electrifying live bands. The current lineup is a mix of legacy and fresh fire: Roger Earl (Founding drummer and heartbeat of the band), Bryan Bassett (Slide guitar – Wild Cherry/Molly Hatchet and Foghat member for over 30 years), Rodney O’Quinn (Thunderous low end and vocals, formerly of the Pat Travers Band) and Scott Holt (Former Buddy Guy guitarist whose voice and fretwork bring a new edge to Foghat’s sound). Together, they deliver a show that is raw, real, and rocking, honoring the past while charging full throttle into the future.
