After two decades as one of Texas Country’s definitive bands – a mantle they have carried proudly to a massive, nationwide audience – Randy Rogers Band stand on a career milestone as they enter the 20-year anniversary of their sophomore album, ROLLERCOASTER (August 24, 2004).

In celebration, RRB kicked off their anniversary year by performing to a sold-out crowd in Steamboat, CO, at The MusicFest’s The Big Tent. As a part of the festival’s headlining acts, RRB delivered a one-of-a-kind tailored setlist playing ROLLERCOASTER front to back, while sprinkling in hits garnered over the past 20 years. Album collaborators Wade Bowen, Cody Canada, and Radney Foster also made guest special appearances. The rollercoaster of a celebration was complete with an exclusive set design photo booth, new re-worked anniversary logo and customized lighting to illuminate the packed-out tent. 

“One of the funny things about being around this long is we’ve got nine albums’ worth of songs, and you can only cram so many in a setlist.” Rogers shares. “We wanted to do something special as an ode to the feeling of those 24-year old’s who had no idea what we were doing, but somehow ended up making a record that changed everything. I hope I remember these jams. Happy Steamboat!” 

Originally released in 2004, the Foster produced album took New Braunfels-based six-piece—vocalist/guitarist Randy Rogers, guitarist/vocalist Geoffrey Hill, bassist Jon Richardson, fiddler Brady Black, drummer Les Lawless, and multi-instrumentalist (guitar, fiddle, mandolin, keyboards) Todd Stewart— on an undeniable breakthrough of growth, setting them on a whirlwind path that led the band to wild success.   

Spending a good majority of their time playing shows in the Lone Star State and Midwest, RRB will bring it back to Music City for a two-night stand at the iconic Ryman Auditorium on March 1 and 2. For a complete list of tour dates and tickets visit here. With numerous shows booked and festival dates already announced into the summer, RRB are ready to kick it into high gear as they prep for a record-breaking year.

Following their 2019 album HELLBENT (produced by Grammy-winner Dave Cobb), 2022's HOMECOMING received critical acclaim and brought the band back to where it all started with their original producer Radney Foster, culminating in a project that nods to the past with its roots planted firmly in the present. American Songwriter hails “[HOMECOMING] shines a light on where they’ve been and how far they’ve come,” while Hook & Barrel give nods of approval to “[t]hat classic sound, brawny and melodic,” apparent throughout. The group’s sophomore album – also produced by Foster – ROLLERCOASTER turns 20 this year, starting a schedule full of anniversary celebrations as the band dives headfirst into 2024.
