Known for their infectious boogie rock, legendary band Foghat is celebrating more than 50 years and will be live at the Brown County Music Center in Nashville, Ind., on Thursday, July 24, 2025. 

Boogie kings for over five decades, Foghat celebrated 53 years of rock ‘n’ roll history in 2024. This legendary band released their latest album, Sonic Mojo, in November 2023, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Blues Charts. Foghat continues to captivate audiences, delivering high-energy performances that are just as thrilling today as they were in 1977 when their classic multi-platinum album, Foghat Live, broke them worldwide.

Foghat's timeless appeal spans generations. Their concerts attract Baby Boomers, Gen X’ers, Millennials, and younger fans alike. Whether discovered through the video game Guitar Hero III, the movie Dazed & Confused, or the inclusion of "Slow Ride" in Top Gun/Maverick (2023), fans unite under the band's electric energy and boogie-inducing music.

Foghat's journey began in 1971 when Lonesome Dave Peverett and Roger Earl left Savoy Brown to start their own band. In 1975, they released Fool for the City, an album that included the hit song "Slow Ride." This track became a huge success and is still one of the band's most recognizable songs. The success of "Slow Ride" was followed by 1977's Foghat Live, a multi-platinum album that solidified their place on the worldwide music map. Over the years, Foghat has earned eight Gold Records, one Platinum Record, and one Double Platinum record. Despite the inevitable ups and downs, including the loss of beloved members Lonesome Dave (2000), Rod Price (2005), and Craig MacGregor (2018), the band has persevered, driven by their love of music.

The 2024 lineup includes founding member Roger Earl on drums, long-time member Bryan Bassett (formerly of Molly Hatchet and Wild Cherry) on lead and slide guitar, Rodney O’Quinn (Pat Travers Band) on bass and vocals, and newest member Scott Holt (Buddy Guy) on lead vocals and guitar. Holt, who previously played with Foghat side project Earl & the Agitators, seamlessly fits into the band’s dynamic, contributing to their ongoing legacy.

Foghat’s success isn’t just a result of their iconic hit "Slow Ride" but a testament to their ability to continually produce great music. Sonic Mojo marks their first #1 record, proving that the band’s boogie magic is timeless. Roger Earl, the driving force behind Foghat, has no plans to stop, ensuring that this legendary band will roll ‘til they’re old and rock ‘til they drop.

Foghat's enduring appeal, dynamic performances, and dedication to their craft ensure that they remain a beloved fixture in the rock ‘n’ roll world, continuing to create and share their music with fans old and new.
