Artist Profile: The Roustabouts

The Roustabouts (Washington, DC)

Founded in 2004, The Roustabouts offer roots-music lovers a fresh take on the blues, providing an exciting mix of original music and carefully selected covers, all with a dynamic lead fiddle. If you think you know the blues, think again—this band will not be stereotyped! Founding members Pete Daniels & Andrew Wiley are Syracuse University grads who first cut their teeth jamming with the likes of Roosevelt Dean, Los Blancos, and their special guest Tom Townsley. Over the years there’s been one prevailing constant: nobody leaves a show with The Roustabouts feeling unsatisfied. They give it their all, every time, and they aim to please… so come experience the sound that has kept this band in demand for more than ten years running!
