Much of Randy Rogers Band’s new album was recorded during October, 2017 so the album is heavily influenced by two major events–the death of Rock legend Tom Petty and the mass shooting at the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Vegas.

“We played that festival a few years prior to that, so we could place ourselves in the fear and despair of those victims and their families,” said Rogers. He went on to say he’s always been drawn to Petty’s melodies and choruses.
