When the the guys asked me if I would like to have the Original High Rollers Reunion Bash at the Narragansett Cafe, I felt both honored and truly excited! This will be an amazing afternoon of true,raw talent and tons of fun! Formed in 1989 and back on stage at the Narragansett Cafe in 2013!,The High Rollers include original members Dave Howard, Tom Ferraro, Mike Labelle and Rod Carey(who spent 7 years with Ronnie Earl) They put out 3 CD’s with their last being placed on the Grammy nominating ballot for best new album in the blues category and best male vocalist.They were winners of numerous local polls (Prov Phoenix, New Paper, Nice Paper,) for best blues band, song, etc. What the critics have said about the band: The de facto ruler of the little blue(s) state is Howard and company, whose outbreaks of joyous abandon and organized intensity define top- grade blues/r&b/rockabilly barroom entertainment. Howard with his nasal, lived-in singing and rousing harmonica goes beyond the tried and true by opening his heart to perform two Texas-directed. Roots songs he wrote himself, “Cold Switch” and “The Other side of this.” Jimmie Dale Gilmore and Joe Ely would approve.Frank John Hadley – Downbeat Magazine October 2005 “Dave has an attractive, gritty voice. Good piano and lots of energy. Nicely done with a lot of verve. I enjoyed this album quite a lot (‘Sure Bet’). Please send my compliments on the quality of the album.”- Bruce Iglauer, Alligator Records “I was impressed by Tom Ferraro’s guitar style – I’d say ‘reserved virtuosity.’ Les Paul would stay open-mouthed having heard the solo in ‘Old But I Ain’t Dead.’ “- Paul Bondarovski, Midnight Special Blues Radio Best Blues Albums of 2004‘Sure Bet’ – Dave Howard and The High Rollers “This self-produced album from Rhode Island veterans is the most infectious bunch of blues, blues-rock, and honky-tonk of the past several years. Howard’s got a burnished baritone voice, plays killer harmonica, and fronts a lethal quartet. And witty songwriting makes it all the more irresistible: ‘Cold Switch (The Ice Princess)’ would be a huge hit if these guys had a major label deal.”Down Beat Magazine Need I say More?
