ROXY ROCA

Drawing on the rich tradition of the Texas blues with a heavy dose of classic rock and dripping with attitude, ROXY ROCA is a high-octane rock band on a mission to prove rock n’ roll ain’t dead. Four core members make up the band with electrifying front man Taye Cannon on vocals, Greece’s own guitar-hero Babis ‘BB’ Tyropolous on six-string, Quinn Walls on the low end and backing vocals, and drummer Ryan Greenblatt holding it down on the kit. Taking a page from the notebooks of legends like ZZ Top, Rolling Stones, Freddie King, Aerosmith, AC/DC and Led Zeppelin, ROXY ROCA sets the stage ablaze with well crafted songs and a powerhouse presence that commands an audience. The band originally formed in Austin, TX as a soul/funk outfit, but as the phoenix rises from the ashes anew and more powerful, so does ROXY ROCA emerging from the pandemic with new life and a new sound. Their upcoming album "Greasy" breaks new ground for the band as they made the conscious decision to ditch green eyed soul for the primal rhythms of rock n’ roll.

While the band is no longer aiming for James Brown, the DNA makeup of ROXY ROCA is steeped in heavy grooves and R&B, and this album serves as a natural bridge between their previous sound and where they’re headed on future albums. Much like their aforementioned music idols, ROXY ROCA’s brand of rock n’ roll has some boogie in it, and that’s just the way they like it.
