Legendary and multi-Platinum rockers FOGHAT - Roger Earl (founding member/drums), Bryan Bassett (lead guitar, formerly with Wild Cherry and Molly Hatchet), Charlie Huhn (lead guitar and lead vocals, formerly with Ted Nugent, Gary Moore, Victory, and Humble Pie), and Rodney O'Quinn (bass, formerly with the Pat Travers Band) - celebrates 50 years of Rock n' Roll with 8 DAYS ON THE ROAD, a 14-track live performance that will be released as a double CD/DVD package in Europe on September 24th on Metalville Records.
Recorded on November 17, 2019 at Daryl's House Club in Pawling, NY, the collection features the band's biggest and most legendary hits, including "Slow Ride," "I Just Want To Make Love To You," "Fool For The City," and so many others.
As original drummer Roger Earl explains, "Eight days on the road is more like 80,000 days on the road for us, but that's OK, I love my job! It was a change and a real pleasure to play this particular small room. I explained to a couple of folks sitting down front as we were about to take the stage that we sweat a lot, and they might want to finish eating. They just grinned and said, 'we're ready.' And so were we!"

Formed in 1971 when "Lonesome" Dave Peverett and Roger Earl left the British blues-rock band, Savoy Brown, FOGHAT has earned eight Gold albums, one Platinum album and one Double-Platinum album. They've continued to release new music every few years and have never stopped touring and recording, although there have been several ups and downs, and lineup changes over the years. They sadly lost Lonesome Dave Peverett in 2000, Rod Price in 2005, and Craig Macgregor in 2018, but founding drummer Roger Earl kept the band's musical legacy going.
If FOGHAT had only given us "Slow Ride," the band's place in rock history would be secure, but the band is so much more than that. As stated by Roger Earl, "We are still a 'work in progress,' writing and recording and plan to be until the day we depart this earth."
