- LaVendore Roque -
LaVendore Rogue’s home-recorded, debut EP “What's the Meaning of…” and accompanying single and music video, “Gangsters, Thieves & Villains” have already been causing quite a stir with international sales and airplay. From their initial inception, this brand new quintet of experienced, road-hardened musicians have already presented their fiery blend of in-your-face, cross-genre-roots music to audiences across the UK & the Netherlands.
Consisting of ex-Hokie Joint members JoJo Burgess on vocals, 2-time British Blues Award nominee, Hofner Guitar and Rotosound strings endorsee Joel Fisk and British Blues Award winning drummer Stephen “Cupsey” Cutmore and finished off with Rob “Tank” Barry on bass, and Warren Lynn on keyboards. LaVendore Rogue’s aim is not to forget their roots, but make it beyond the blues circuit they've previously conquered. With a combination of talent and experience LaVendore Rogue could prove to be one of the hottest up-and-coming crossover “roots” acts the UK has to offer.
Past highlights of individual members careers to date include prime time UK TV exposure, 3 live Maida Vale and 1 Pebble Mill session for the BBC, sharing the stages with prestigious acts including Muse and Duran Duran. Not forgetting international festival appearances including Cognac “Blues Passion” Festival (FR) with Moby, Morcheeba and ZZ Top, Peer Festival (BE) with legends such as Steve Winwood and Jeff Beck, and Blues Alive (CZ).
