YellowTieGuy’s “Misery” Misnomer

The Alchemist

Washington D.C. area alternative rock band YellowTieGuy can be a tough nut to crack. They have roots in folk and rock but pull from a variety of genres and influences that provide each song with its own musical footprint. Even the title for the band’s third single, “Misery,” may be a bit misleading. Released late last month, the song’s lyrical intentionals are based on the concept that there is a great big world filled with all kinds of people, and our decisions should be founded in doing right by others (sometimes requiring sacrificing something of ourselves). The track is slated to appear on YellowTieGuy’s forthcoming third studio album The Inevitable Unexpected, and the music video was directed and produced by the band’s bassist, Jamie Rasmussen.

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.”
