Fattback
Fattback Fattback is a particularly versatile St. Louis rock & roll band, capable of playing blues guitar riffs, deep funk grooves, and Southern rock’s swaggering leads without losing its singular, salty flavor. The band is known for its tightness on stage with vocal duties being shared among guitarist Dave Hagerty, drummer John Joern, and keyboardist Grady Briedenbach. Guitarist Sean Dalmeyer adds his own voice through his guitar, using distorted slide guitar or fat, propulsive chords depending on the mood, and bassist Mike Apperson stitches the whole mess together. The band members’ background in bluegrass, reggae and alt-country bands adds to the range of influences and each track is a seamless unit that never drops the beat or loses the groove.
