Excuse my lack of eloquence, but Roster McCabe kicked a**!! They were, for lack of a better word, great. Awesomely great. They had incredible energy, got the crowd shouting and first-pumping, and sounded superb.
Their blend of jam, jazz & rock with a hint of reggae was a home run with this crowd. In fact, I’d say they had one of the biggest crowds I’ve seen all weekend in the Saloon. And to top it off, it turns out they are a bunch of really nice guys.
Roster McCabe Cover Song #1: Could This Be Love (Bob Marley)

Roster McCabe Cover Song #2: Regulators (Warren G feat. Nate Dogg)
