Band Bio After years of playing music with various bands, Gene wanted to put together a 4 piece band that could stand up to the requirements of demanding house work. This would mean loyal, dedicated members, and relentless devotion to professionalism. He had a good head-start since he and Joy were performing as a duo. Gene held Auditions for Drums and Bass in an old rented store in Tampa. Rehearsal, and refining lasted about six months. THE ROLLIN' RIVER BAND original members were Gene, Joy, Kevin and Tom. After a couple years, Gene replaced Tom and Kevin with Rich and Shawnee. Jim later replaced Joy. The band members are now an inseparable family. All the hard work has really paid off. Each is dedicated to professionalism, quality, reputation, and connect with their audience like magic. The band also was very active
with the Florida Country Music
Association, and other programs,
benefits and jamborees. The crowds grew and the
friends and followers became even more devoted.
