Details:
The Catch Blues Bandâs sound has been described as the âblues with a splash of rumâ, where B.B. King meets Bob Marley, with Clapton-like vocals. This mixture of genres has earned The Catch Blues Band a dedicated following in the Upper Ohio Valley since the veteran musicians formed the group in 2006.

The four-piece bandâs distinctive rhythms create an expansive sound. The interplay between Dana Burkhartâs elaborate bass lines along with the Latin-influenced percussions created by John âJ.D.â Daner gives the music a serious depth. When added to the unmistakably blues-like raunchiness of Kevin Broshâs organ and piano accompaniment and topped off with Mike Roederâs distinctive vocal and guitar stylings, The Catch Blues Band will give any blues-lover that back-street blues-battle house feeling.

On August 11th 2007, The Catch Blues Band, in conjunction with their inaugural appearance at the Heritage Music Bluesfest in Wheeling, WV, released their first CD, âItâs Not Rightâ. âItâs Not Rightâ is the brainchild of lead singer and guitarist, Mike Roeder. âIâve had some of these tunes simmering in my âsong boxâ since 1996, but it was the inspiration I took from my fellow band-members that really brought it to life â, he said. Roeder said his bassist, Dana Burkhart âDana and I have been jamming together since I was 8 years old, in fact, he was my first guitar teacherâ. All are Wheeling residents, with the exception of Brosh, who currently resides in Shadyside, Ohio.

All ten cuts of âItâs Not Rightâ were recorded and mastered in Wheeling at Jamie Peck Productions this summer. Peck, an accomplished saxophone player, plays a âblood
and gutsâ tenor solo on the CDâs final song, âPlease.â Roeder cited many inspirations for the CD, but âespecially the music I listened to while growing up in North Wheelingâthe Allman Brothers Band, Eric Clapton, Santana and Bob Marley.â
