The Ken DeRouchie Band has been wowing crowds since 1997 with their original blend
of old and new school Soul, Funk, R&B and guitar edged power. The band is extremely
high energy and features big horns, phat grooves and powerful vocals by DeRouchie
himself.

The Willamette Week Magazine wrote:
...as the Ken DeRouchie Band aims to mix Blues, soul, jazz, funk, latin dance, rock
and pop and not have it sound like a sonic car crash. It doesn\'t. It sounds more
like a party attended by everyone from Curtis Salgado to Barry White and War.
