Perry Sanders - Harmonica/Vocals

Born in Olympia, WA, Perry has been playing music since he was 10. In 1989 Perry started schlepping gear for "Sweatband", a group led by Dennis Hastings and anchored by the guitar of Dave Broyles and the saxophone of Steve Munger.  Mostly hauling gear, but occasionally sitting in, Perry went to school on Dennis' soulful vocals and horn inspired harp playing.  After playing jam sessions with some of the northwest's top blues players, Perry met up with Tom "T-Boy Neil" Boyle in 1997.  In 98 they formed "The Steamers" and, along with Freddie "Cleanhead" Kellog on bass and Richard "Smoke" Winfield on drums, they played good time, party blues up and down the Pacific Northwest. In 2000 Perry co-founded "The Blues Attitude" with Jerry"J.B." Bentley, T-Bone Williams and Smoke Winfield. Perry has been playing music on the Eastside since 2003.  Usually billed as "The Cellarmen", Perry featured Northwest greats such as Karl Thuman, Brian Feist, Mike Coucoules, K.T. Tuttle, Conrad Ormsby and Keith Anderson.  Then, in January 2006, he met up with Oakland guitar player Lance "Blue Lindy" Lindgren.  After a couple of pretty hot jam sessions, Lance and Perry put together a group that includes Gordon Benson on sax and vocals, Detroit's own Bruce Koenigsberg on bass and drummer Keith White from Cleveland. Merging styles from Detroit, Middle America and the West Coast, The Fabulous Roof Shakers is a high energy dance band that can shake the roof.

Lance "Blue Lindy" Lindgren - Guitar/Vocals

Lance started playing in clubs throughout San Francisco back in 1992 with the band "Back In Blue" and later "The Crab Daddy's" who often played the one time blues hotspot, "Blues" on Lombard. Lance later moved south and joined the rockin' blues party band "The Fabulous Boozedogs" in Long Beach who played everything from dives, juke joints, festivals and even classy joints like the Roxbury in Hollywood. After a short stint in Alaska playing with “The Vindicators”, Lance later returned to the Bay Area and put together the blues powerhouse, “Wall Of Blues”, who developed a reputation throughout the San Francisco and Oakland music scenes for their high-energy “wall of sound”. A recent transplant to the Pacific Northwest, Lance decided to bring his big rockin’ style of music to the masses by putting together a tight, high-energy dance band. This eventually became the catalyst for forming The Fabulous Roof Shakers.

Gordon Benson - Baritone & Tenor Sax/Vocals

Gordon is one of those rare people who was actually born and raised in the Seattle area. His musical roots were formed in the Seattle rain and gloom, so blues is his most natural form for musical expression. He started playing the sax in grade school and continued to study and practice the instrument through high school and college. College also gave opportunity for studying music theory, playing in various jazz and rock bands and learning guitar and bass. Since that time he has been wailing on the sax in various Northwest bands, including Back Room, Mad Hatter, Blue Field, and most recently I - 5 South.  He may occasionally pull out the soprano, alto and baritone saxophones, but the gritty, raw sound of the tenor saxophone is the sound that he finds really expresses the soul and emotion of the songs he plays.

Bruce Koenigsberg - Bass

Bruce, of Issaquah, WA formerly from Detroit, the home of the Motown Sound, is one of Seattle’s premier bass players. Bruce was formerly with The Cadillac Jack Review and is a current member of The Jam Dawgs who host and appear at local music jams in the Seattle area. Bruce is also a sought after contract musician for other Seattle Bands as well as out of town players looking for an in the pocket bass player. Bruce has played for The Big Moe Review from Chicago, The Tim Turner Band and The Charles White Band to name a few. Bruce is also a member of The Washington Blues Society. You might have seen him performing around town at some local jams or sitting in with other R & B and Rock Bands as he likes to get out and play music and entertain people as much as he can.

Keith White - Percussion

New to the Seattle area, Keith is a veteran of the Cleveland, Ohio R & B music scene playing with harp master Dave Morrison in Aces and Eights. Keith also freelanced with such Cleveland area groups as Sweet Willy and the Solid Cats, Tommy Shaper and the Mature Individuals, Wallace Coleman, and Robert Lockwood Jr. Keith is happiest when deep in the groove of a high energy tune that fills up the dance floor. Keith is a welcome addition to the Seattle Music scene.
