Foghat at Orleans Showroom

Known the world over for classic rock anthems “Slow Ride” and “Fool for the City”, Foghat will play The Orleans Showroom for two nights, January 29 and 30, each evening at 8 p.m.

Roger Earl and Lonesome Dave Peverett wanted to give a more rock ‘n roll flavor to the blues-boogie music they were playing with their band Savoy Brown, so they enlisted Rod Price and Tony Stevens to form Foghat in 1971. Beginning in 1972 and every year through 1983, the group released a new album. Their first release, Foghat, was followed up with a second self-titled record, Foghat, also known as Rock and Roll due to the cover art of a rock and a dinner roll.

Foghat toured and recorded consistently throughout the 70s and into the early 80s. Album titles include Energized; Rock and Roll Outlaws; the group’s first platinum record Fool for the City, which garnered two Billboard hit singles including the title track and “Slow Ride”; Night Shift; the double platinum selling Foghat Live; Stone Blue; Boogie Motel; Tight Shoes; Girls to Chat and Boys to Bounce; In the Mood for Something Rude and Zig-Zag Walk. Hit singles include “Drivin’ Wheel,” “I Just Wanna Make Love To You” and “I’ll Be Standing By”.
