Bobby Lee Rodgers Trio Return to Green Parrot
A stellar songwriter, vocalist and guitarist, Bobby Lee Rodgers was for years the mainstay of The Codetalkers, a jazz, rock and roll band whose music has been described as a mix of jazz, rock, blues, bluegrass and funk with improvised jams being the main theme in their live performances.
Some of their unique sound comes from their use of a rotating Leslie cabinet used for Rodgers’ guitar. Rodgers’ high level of playing has attracted luminaries like guitarist Jimmy Herring (Phil Lesh, The Dead) and Hubert Sumlin (Howlin’ Wolf), who have toured with him. Other guests include the Allman Brothers’ Derek Trucks & Warren Haynes, Phish’s Mike Gordon, Susan Tedeschi, jazz pianist Art Lande, Joe Craven (Psychograss/David Grisman Quintet) and violin giant Vassar Clements.
His mountain of positive press includes a recent interview on NPR’s Morning Edition.The Green ParrotBar is your Southernmost Center for Culture, at the corner of Whitehead and Southard Streets. For additional information call The Green Parrot at 305-294-6133.
