NRBQ
Artist Overview
The quintessential cult band, the ever-idiosyncratic NRBQ soldiered on for decades with their quirky brand of roots-rock, encompassing country, jazz, power-pop, rockabilly, and more. Terry Adams's often-dischordant, jazz-inflected keyboards and Big Al Anderson's twangy guitar were at the center of the band's sound in it's most popular 1980s/'90s incarnation. In the mid-'90s, Anderson (who had replaced founding guitarist Steve Ferguson in 1971) left for a profitable career as a Nashville songwriter. His spot was ably filled by bassist Joey Spampinato's brother Johnny, and the band continued merrily down its crooked path into the new millennium.
