NRBQ Founder Passes Away

The New Rhythm & Blues Quartet never attracted a huge following, but the NRBQ fan base includes many of the the biggest names in Rock.  Formed in 1967, the group embraced a wide range of styles, with rockabilly, blues and country leading the way.  Though guitarist Steve Ferguson was only with the group for a few years (the name went from Quintet to Quartet with his departure), his influence remains evident with the group to this day.  Ferguson, who reunited with the NRBQ briefly in 2004 and joined it for an anniversary concert in 2004, passed away from cancer at his Louisville, Kentucky home October 7.
