Rhett Repko Spends “Late Nights” With You

by Daniel Warren Hill

“Feels good to love again. Know that you’re my best friend,” is a recurring lyrical theme in Annapolis-based Rhett Repko’s latest single “Late Nights”. Repko considers late nights being with the one he loves or missing them because of those prolonged absences. The music video keeps those positive vibes going with rooftop dancing excursions while the sunset casts its long shadows. An experienced producer in his own right,  Repko hears a sound in his head and tirelessly pursues it through a combination of his own talents in collaboration with other producers. 

His website says, “A mix of retro and modern techniques drives Rhett to deliver the best of both worlds,” and you’ll hear that balance within the orchestration and production of “Late Nights” through traditional rock and roll instrumentation. While one of Repko’s primary influences is the Beatles, we found ourselves hearing a dash of Presidents of the United States of America as well, and it reminds us of local rocker Alex Vans before he retired from the DMV music scene to relocate to NYC.

Foghat’s Roger Earl Refuses to Slow His Ride

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.”
