ABOUT US
Fueled by a passion for southern rock, outlaw country and alternative music, The Southside Roosters came to be via a few “Good Ole Baws” who happen to be successful business, legal and medical professionals.
SSR’s music is as diverse as the band members backgrounds and professions. Focusing on Southern Rock to Classic Country, SSR mixes in its own twist on 80 - 90’s Rock, with refreshing inclusion of Outlaw Country / Americana / Red Dirt / Alternative Country…whatever you want to call it. The Southside Roosters deliver raw covers of classic hits from The Black Crowes, Chris Stapleton, The Black Keys, John Mellencamp, The Band , Tom Petty, Eric Church & Zach Bryan to next generation Outlaw Country including Turnpike Troubadours, Whiskey Myers, Jason Isbell / Drive By Truckers, Tyler Childers, Band of Heathens, Gov’t Mule, and maybe even a Snoop Dogg or Prince cover!
The Southside Roosters always deliver a much needed and refreshing break from traditional cover bands, scratching the crowd where they itch.
Any great band must have in impeccably talented lead guitarist. The Southside Roosters just happen to be led by someone who is accomplished in all aspects of life. Tommy is a surgeon by day, and a rock star by night leading SSR playing guitar, bass and back up vocals. He is also lead guitarist for the great 90’s band, Blue Verse.
Rich’s musical abilities are as accomplished as his professional achievements. He leads SSR on bass, accordion, keyboard / piano and back up vocals with the same commitment and integrity that he has demonstrated as a top tier law school grad, federal prosecutor and federal magistrate judge. He is also a rock star bowler…Big Ern McCracken can’t touch ‘em!
Pat’s ability to keep the pace of SSR’s music has been forged through years of experience. He is not only a great drummer, but Pat knows how to keep time as an accomplished triathlete & marathon runner. Pat is a professional physical therapist and partner in an organization that puts on competitive races throughout the U.S. He is also a highly skilled carpenter - check him out at Lilly & Sparrow Woodworking.
Jeff is the founding father of The Southside Roosters. Born and raised in rural St. Francisville, LA and former resident of Austin, Texas, he brings an authenticity to the Roosters that can’t be matched. Jeff leads the band on rhythm guitar, hand percussion and musical direction. In addition to being a successful business executive, he is also an avid outdoorsman, golfer and community leader.
Kyle leads The Southside Roosters on vocals, guitar, mandolin and harmonica. Born and raised in Louisiana, he moved back to BTR after traveling the country and living in Orlando, Houston & Los Angeles. He is a successful business executive who enjoys spending time outdoors with his family and best podnuhs.
Last but not least, and most important, are The Southside Chicks. The Roosters would not be the rocking force of americana, outlaw country and rock-n-roll, without the unconditional love, support and patience of these beautiful ladies. If you are lucky enough to know them, you will understand why The Southside Roosters are able to deliver such a great, fun, family friendly show grounded in the roots of country music and classic rock.
From time to time, The Southside Roosters are blessed with the addition of an amazing fiddle player. Exceptionally talented and intelligent, this classically trained violinist is the beautiful daughter of a trusted childhood friend.
