American Jetset
The way the Jetset boys see it, the world is fed up with social media and politics, and what it really needs is a rock & roll comeback.
While the band formed in October 2018, the idea and songs were born somewhere in the late 80s at the height of the Sunset Strip phenomenon. One listen to Live Love Die on Main (EP Release: 12/23/18) and you’ll hear inspiration from the usual suspects—Guns & Roses, Faster Pussycat, LA Guns, and Hanoi Rocks, just to name a few. It is a true testament to the music they grew up on, in all its glory, glam, and sleaze.

By this point in his life, Foghat founding drummer Roger Earl has visited quite a few doctors. But what may be surprising is that the percussionist, 77, is quick to point out that many of the medical professionals who have worked on him also enjoy rocking out.
“Nearly all the doctors and surgeons I know, they all play something: trumpet, sax, violin, guitar,” Earl said recently. “There’s not too many drummers that are surgeons, there’s probably a good reason for that!”
Earl half-jokingly invites his surgeon-rockers to join him and the other members of Foghat onstage at the Fillmore in Silver Spring March 9, where they will be headlining the Rock and Roll for Children Foundation benefit for the Children’s Inn at NIH. Earl, the only original member of Foghat still in the band, will be banging the skins behind guitarist Bryan Bassett and other members Scott Holt and Rodney O’Quinn. “Slow Ride,” the band’s 1975 megahit, is all but assured to be on the setlist, along with tunes from Foghat’s most recent record, “Sonic Mojo.”
