The RED HOT POKERS "rock" to the sounds of "roots" Rock & Roll, which took the world by storm in the 1950's & 1960's, 70's Classic "party rock", and even some authentic country & rockabilly!

The RED HOT POKERS are a trio consisting of:

*DAVID "ROY" - LEAD VOCALIST/DRUMMER with a beefy, full powered voice and rock steady drumming

*MILT REDER - GUITARIST and vocalist with his blistering solos and rhythmic drive

*DEAN CASSELL - BASS GUITARIST whose playing is deeply rooted in the R&B tradition of Motown's greatest rhythm players
