  • Live on Stage!
    NEW for 2011! Country Stage on Saturday Night Times may be subject to change without notice. Live on Stage! Saturday . June 18 . West Stage 10:15pm 4th & Virginia The last few years has Foghat reaching a whole new generation of fans largely as a result of their incessant touring and also due to its songs appearing on such popular home video games as Guitar Hero III, numerous movies such as ‘Dazed & Confused’, ‘Wild Hogs’, ‘Bottle Shock’ and ‘Halloween II’, numerous TV shows and ads such as Honda among others. So the live dates continue to pile up and the boogie continues. And to keep the band relevant to both old and new fans alike, 2010 brings the inclusion of a newer Foghat song “Mumbo Jumbo” in the new I-Phone application by Universal called ‘Six String’ Their latest project, a blues CD called “LAST TRAIN HOME” (release date June 15, 2010) is the culmination of a dream shared by Roger Earl and Lonesome Dave. So with LAST TRAIN HOME Foghat comes full circle, with an offering that mixes some Foghat Blues stamped originals with many blues gems. This album is guaranteed to become a classic. Foghat has never stopped touring and recording. The 2010 version of Foghat comprised of Roger Earl, Craig MacGregor, Charlie Huhn, and Bryan Bassett has been together for 10 years since the passing of Lonesome Dave. They continue to tour relentlessly because they just love to play and after every show they go out to meet their fans. They still epitomize that classic blues-rock slide guitar sound and that is what Foghat is all about.

Both were given great reviews by press audience alike. To keep the ball rolling, they are planning to release a live DVD in 2018! Foghat fans are everywhere and these days their audience consists of all ages. From the young kids who play Guitar Hero III and know all of the lyrics to ‘Slow Ride’, to the Dazed & Confused generation of 30-40 somethings and the ‘boomers’ who bought Foghat’s first vinyl or 8 track! Looking out at the audience and seeing all of the generations rockin’ to Foghat is very gratifying to the band.

  • A Short Talk with Roger Earl, Founding Member of Foghat
    A short talk with Roger Earl, Founding member of Foghat. Tom Allen: Let me begin by saying this all started back in 1972. I was a 13-year old SF Bay Area guitar slinger playing in a newly formed power trio after a stint in a 9-piece funk band. My best friend and drummer, Eric Parkinson, also from the Bay Area, was my chaperon since he was older and had a car. I had to lie about my age at most of my gigs, but my playing got me through. Eric and I would record 8-track tapes of music we loved for the car ride to gigs and rehearsals, and we’d pump that music into our heads to start our love of all things rock. One day on Skyline Road in Oakland, CA on the way to rehearsal, he put in a tape of a band named Foghat. The song was Chateau Lafitte 59 Boogie. I heard that screaming slide, those hard rocking vocals, and that shuffle beat drumming that made the song. But the track that got me was Foghat’s remake of I Just Want to Make Love to You. Balls out rock. It affected for life what I listened to and what I wanted to play. I was on an all-out Foghat hunt and bought everything they did, and I continued that even after I become friends with current Foghat guitarist Bryan Bassett. Bryan is an excellent musician and recording engineer, and we started our friendship with the commonalities of recording. I consider Bryan one of the true friends on my short list.
