Along with Roulette, the band features Fort Wayne’s Sam Clay on drums and Colin Taylor on stand-up bass, while Ronnie Crutcher shreds it on the guitar. They combine the American blues with honky tonk, rock n’ roll, rockabilly, and a healthy DIY punk rock attitude.

To make things even more raucous, Fort Wayne’s own newgrass sensation Debutants, a headliner in their own right, will open the show as they celebrate the release of “Every (Damn) Day,” the first single off their upcoming album.
