Otis Share Music Video for Latest Single "There's a Break in the Road"
Kentucky based rock n’ rollers Otis make a warm welcome return with a new groove laden, swampy single and video “There’s a Break in The Road.” Bringing their unique and spiced recipe to the Betty Harris soul classic, frontman and guitarist Boone Froggett recalls, “A few years back I bought a New Orleans soul compilation LP for three bucks at Habersham Records, a cool spot in Macon, Georgia specializing in used blues, soul, and gospel records. I threw it in my collection and didn't think too much more about it.”
Alongside Boone, John Seeley (bass), Alex Wells (guitar), and Dale Myers (drums), the tight-knit guys stay connected to their homegrown roots having been around traditional instruments from a young age in piano, fiddle, and guitar instilling in them an appreciation of country-rock, bluegrass and folk music. Recorded in a live full band take at The Rock House in Franklin Tennessee, the single features electric piano and mixing by renowned Grammy Award winning musician Kevin McKendree (Brian Setzer, George Thorogood) and mastering courtesy of Ty Tabor of the acclaimed US rock band Kings X.
Previously, a chance meeting with Billy F Gibbons led to the legend listening and becoming a fan of the band - even handing their albums off to the likes of Buddy Guy and Jeff Beck and previous US/UK tours have included sharing bills with ZZ Top, The Kentucky Headhunters and Blackberry Smoke. With new original music in their pockets to come later this year encompassing melodic howling vocals, slick intertwining guitars, soulful grooves and a band steeped in musical heritage…that’s OTIS.
