The joint's always jumpin' as this seasoned band of professionals gets 'em dancing.
From the Santa Cruz Sentinel:
"Listening to these guys at Locals’ Night, you’ll feel like you’re in a
Detroit Motown nightclub and a New
Orleans House party.

Grammy nominee Cindy Edwards always reaches down, pulls out the best part of a song, and then holds it up in front of her audience as if to say, "This is what I'm talking about!"

Quote from BD 2-2013:
Central Cali folks.... I just got back from a show at Pono WHICH WAS NOT HAWAIIAN. Can you believe it? Went to handle the door for a band which included two friends, tho I had never heard them play before. I was blown away by the Road Hogs. They are a Santa Cruz group who can play everything, and play it incredibly well. They took me through many parts of my love of music: blues, r & b, reggae, rock, and more, that I had not visited for a long while Sadly, I didn't hear any Hawaiian but I'll encourage them to work on that.
Look for and attend gigs by the Road Hogs. You'll go away either tired from dancing, or simply feeling blissed-out from hearing new and old songs that you love. You can thank me later.Note from a prior Fundraiser:
I just wanted to send another big THANK YOU to all of you. Without your help we wouldn't have had any success. In the end we were able to raise $11,000 for Kevin. Add 2K more that has come in through other donations and I call it a huge success.
You have also generated a new fan club and a long list of followers who will keep track of your future moves.
