country and a kick of southern rock. The band consists of 5 members ranging in age from 27 to 60. Which gives the band a whole lotta fire and musical experience from proffessional studio recording to backing national acts. All of this combined gives ROUGHSTOCK a song list of over 300 songs from Keith Urban to Johnny Cash.
