#ROQTheBoat with Special #ALTROQ Musical Guest: Everclear!

Come party with fellow #ROQStars as we sail the waves "past the breakers" and wave to Santa Monica while listening to Everclear's โ€œSanta Monica" right after the Impressions Expo in Long Beach, CA for a round-trip #ROQTheBoat sunset cruise on the 21st!


RSVP NOW THEN GO to ROQ Booth #3109: 2-4pm PST on Sat. Jan 21st to get a wristband and confirm registered attendance with #YourPartnerInPrint ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿค˜


Considering Everclear has written and recorded some truly iconic โ€™90s ALT-ROQ hits, it would be all too easy these days for the Band to be a victim of its past successes, relegated to performing as a glorified jukebox, existing to satisfy the nostalgic cravings of Gen Xers everywhere. But singer-guitarist Art Alexakis isnโ€™t about to start phoning it in now.



Everclear continues to tour extensively, and while itโ€™s a virtual surety that no Everclear gig is complete without a rendition of โ€œSanta Monicaโ€ and โ€œFather of Mine,โ€ lately the band has found that exploring the full range of past materialโ€”especially the โ€œdeep cutsโ€โ€”not only gives Fans a rare treat, it also injects new life into the Bandโ€™s live dynamic.


โ€œBy mixing it up and digging into the catalog, it still makes it fun and relevant for Us, and I think for the Fans as well,โ€ says Alexakis. โ€œItโ€™s still important to play the hits, but by playing those other songs as well, it makes it all seem more vibrant and real. Even though I recorded some of those songs 20 years ago, I havenโ€™t played them in a long time, so itโ€™s like reinventing the wheel. Iโ€™m having more fun now than I have in years. I think all of Us are.โ€



Formed by Alexakis in 1991 in Portland, Oregon, Everclear has enjoyed a lengthy career spanning 11 studio releases, numerous videos, thousands of shows and accolades that include a 1998 Grammy nomination. Like a true survivor, Alexakis has soldiered on through multiple lineup changes over the years: During the โ€œclassicโ€ era, the Band also included Craig Montoya on Bass and Greg Eklund on drums; the current touring lineup features longtime members Davey French (guitar) and Freddy Herrera (bass), as well as drummer Brian Nolan (also with

American Hi-Fi), who has performed with Everclear on multiple past tours.

INDUSTRY

Our
Partners

Early on, we made a conscious decision to eradicate the word "customer" from our vocabulary. ROQ.US has no customers -- we only do business with Partners.

A customer is someone on one end of a transaction, but a Partner is a companion. A Partner is an ally.

 

A Partner is a trusted friend who is invested in the journey with you. That long-term camaraderie is what we aim to provide for our Partners.

โ€‹

As we continue to roll out the green carpet for you, we're honored to introduce you to our current roster of ROQ.US Referral Partners. These industry leaders are valued ROQ.US family members as You are and we're excited to bring You together with them to reinforce the product/service muscle behind your operation.
