the Catfish Boys
About the band
The Catfish Boys are a bay area based band that plays a blend of country and roots oriented rock music. The group is fronted by lead singer Roy Blair who has been in various rock bands (Tripster Louie, The Blue Meanies) over the past 18 years. Roy's down home drawl and vocal stylings are a blend of Jamey Johnson, Steve Earle, Mick Jagger, and Ronnie Van Zandt.
Roy co-founded the Catfish Boys with his long time friend and guitarist Jim Paras in 2007. Their vision was to play a combination of lesser known but great songs from artists like Steve Earle, Son Volt, Dwight Yoakam and Neil Young along with classics by Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard, George Jones, and the Rolling Stones.
Take a listen to our original song "Hands of Time". Co-written by
Roy Blair/Brandon Sparks and produced by Aaron Madsen.
