NRBQ, short for New Rhythm And Blues Quartet, is a US rock quartet known for their rich blend of genres and humouresque approach. With collaborations featuring renowned singers like Carl Perkins and Skeeter Davis, as well as actor John Belushi and pro wrestler Captain Lou Albano who briefly managed the band in 1980, NRBQ has established themselves as a versatile musical force. Their unique sound has garnered comparisons to artists such as Graham Parker, Rockpile, Nick Lowe, and many others.

With a career spanning decades, NRBQ's discography showcases their ability to seamlessly incorporate various styles into their music. From energetic rock to soulful rhythm and blues, they have consistently pushed boundaries and captivated audiences with their dynamic performances.

Joining the ranks of influential bands like Brinsley Schwarz and Big Star, NRBQ continues to inspire musicians with their innovative sound. Whether you're a fan of Graham Parker & The Rumour or Doug Sahm's eclectic style, NRBQ's music is sure to resonate with your musical sensibilities.

Ladies and gentlemen, the story you are about to hear is true… NRBQ’s first new album in eight years is about to unleashed. No names have been changed and no one is innocent. 

NRBQ released their self-titled debut in 1969, and toured and recorded consistently until their 35th anniversary in 2004, when they took a hiatus until 2011’s Keep This Love Goin’.

The band is keyboardist Terry Adams, guitarist Scott Ligon, bassist Casey McDonough, and drummer John Perrin. 

In addition to their version of the Dragnet theme, the album contains 10 new, original songs, all of which were written or co-written by the band—including Adams’ “Sunflower,” which was originally recorded for the 2018 film Change In The Air. Any release of NRBQ music is a cause for celebration, but after nearly a decade since their last full-length studio release, Dragnet brings the band back to the turntables and live venues of America. Though they don’t carry a badge, they are going to work, and after more than a year away from live performances, this is where they come in. So do your part and safely celebrate the release of Dragnet when they come to your city and in the meantime, duh duh duh duh!
