Biografía:
Diretamente de Cleveland, Tennessee, J Roddy Walston & the Business pode ser rotulado de uma maneira que hoje em dia costuma-se ser bem difícil de encontrar em bandas novas por aí: uma banda que toca Rock N' Roll. Isso mesmo, formado por J. Roddy Walston no piano e no vocal, Billy Gordon na guitarra e backin vocal, Logan Davis no baixo e Steve Colmus na bateria, esse quarteto formado em 2002, possui uma galera de seguidores desde o lançamento de seu primeiro álbum (Hail Mega Boys) em 2007.

¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
Again, another version best done acoustic. My personal style is simple playing and
emotional singing, and a lot of J Roddy's songs allow for this if you break them down and
play acoustic. Anyways, hope you have fun with this one.
