I Betcha!



STCD 009

The exciting new band project. Musicians dedicated to the soulful sound of rhythm and blues. After recording as a featured vocalist and performing with Bernie Marsden (former guitar player and songwriter for the rock band 'Whitesnake') in 2002, Michael Roach grew in confidence as a singer as he performed with the 'who's who' of British rock music.

During the 'American Festival of the Blues' tour in the United Kingdom in 2003, Michael met the talented keyboardist Danny McCormack and saxophonist Paul Corry. This led to the trio’s pact to rehearse and write new music throughout the years 2004/05. The result of this collaboration is now available. It features eleven original songs and three covers, 'People Get Ready' by Curtis Mayfield, 'I Pity The Fool' by Bobby 'Blue' Bland and 'Let's Go, Let's Go, Let's Go by Hank Ballard.

It has been a natural transition for Michael to go from his years as an acoustic performer to leading a big band, creating the resonance of the music that he grew up with.
