(AUSTIN, TEXAS – October 10, 2023; source: Juice Consulting) – Austin-based dynamic blues rock band ROXY ROCA are proud to announce their official album release show for their latest record, “Greasy” dropping Friday, Nov. 3, 2023. The show will take place that night at 3TEN ACL Live, located at 310 W Willie Nelson Blvd. Suite 1A, Austin, TX 78701. Supporting ROXY ROCA on the bill are special guests Scorpion Child. Doors for the show open at 7:30 p.m., and music will begin at 8:30 p.m. Tickets for the “Greasy” album release show are now on sale and can be purchased here.

The fiery track, featuring tasty guitar licks and lead singer Taye Cannon’s compelling vocals, is now available for listeners to presave here. For more information on ROXY ROCA, please see here.

On their forthcoming album, the group launches a new era fueled by a fierce rock sound. Formerly known as a horn-driven soul-funk outfit, ROXY ROCA have traded in their brass section for screaming guitars and the primal rhythms of rock ‘n’ roll. The band is comprised of lead singer Taye Cannon, guitarist Babis “BB” Tyropolous, bassist and back up vocalist Quinn Walls and drummer Ryan Greenblatt. 

“I can’t remember the last time I was so excited for a show,” said Taye Cannon. “Scorpion Child have been road dogs for many years now and a band we have a lot of respect for. You’re getting in for a real deal rock show on Nov. 3 at 3TEN ACL Live, the perfect way to drop our album and kick off a season of rock n’ roll!”

As the powerhouse rock band gears up for their highly anticipated album release, ROXY ROCA comes out swinging, ready to reaffirm their claim as a rock band on the rise with their fourth single of the year, “Your Love.” While the explosive new track goes from zero to 60 in a matter of seconds and brings high-energy rock ‘n’ roll throughout, it also touches on deeper themes, including human connection and the search for genuine love. Lyrically, the single takes listeners on a journey describing one man’s transformation from a cynical bachelor on the prowl to a man grappling with true love for the very first time. 

“‘Your Love’ originated from the lyrical idea that chemistry with the right person can change one’s perspective on love,” said drummer Ryan Greenblatt. The transactional nature of dating today and the media’s portrayal of sex has warped our collective consciousness to believe love is a selfish and purely carnal endeavor, but we wanted to speak on how meeting the right person can flip that idea on its head, and heal a jaded heart. Add in some major guitar riffs and you get ‘Your Love.’”

After a decade of sizzling stages across the country and abroad playing soul and funk, ROXY ROCA have emerged from the pandemic equipped with a new sound embracing their love of blues and rock while continuing to maintain the same highly skilled musicianship and live-show intensity for which they are well known. The band’s current lineup consists of magnetic frontman Taye Cannon on lead vocals, bassist Quinn Walls holding down the low end and backing vocals, Athens, Greece’s own guitar-hero Babis “BB” Tyropolous on six-string, and driving the bus with power and precision is Ryan Greenblatt on drums. 

While ROXY ROCA is no longer aiming for James Brown-esque funk, the DNA makeup of the band remains steeped in heavy grooves and R&B. Their upcoming album “Greasy” serves as a natural bridge between ROXY ROCA’s previous sound and where they’re headed on future albums. Much like the band’s other music idols, including ZZ Top, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, and Lenny Kravitz - whose mother, actress Roxie Roker, inspired the band’s name - underlying ROXY ROCA’s personal brand of rock and roll is its soulful roots.

“Greasy” was recorded at Edgewater Studios in Sugar Land, Texas in July of 2022. After writing almost 20 potential songs for the album, the band along with the Edgewater team settled on the nine best and most stylistically cohesive songs. “Greasy” was written and performed by the members of ROXY ROCA, produced by Derek Hames and engineered by John Shelton of Edgewater music group.
