Summary: J. Roddy Walston and the Business formed over a decade ago in Tennessee -- but in recent years have made a home in Baltimore, Md. The group plays a boisterous Southern-influenced rock, and with its latest album, Essential Tremors, embraces snarl as much as soul -- and has developed a reputation for a fierce live show. A few years back, we met J. Roddy Walston for the first time, and when they played in the studio, the band almost blew the roof off. Listeners left comments like “sounds like Jerry Lee Lewis, Queen, Bowie and Rolling Stones. WILD!” and “Holy hell where did you find this band they're amazing.” Hear the band perform in the Soundcheck studio.
