Rock On! This Week's Sound Bites...10/24/24

"Just a couple of changes," states Otis front man Boone Froggett, "When the pandemic hit, we only got to play maybe seven shows in 2020 and our original drummer decided that he wanted to stay home and do the family thing and our original guitar player decided he wanted to play bass for another rock band. So, that just left myself on vocals and guitar and co-founder John Seeley on bass. So, we brought in Dale Myers on drums and Alex Wells on guitar and started touring again in 2023."
