The Memphis Rockabilly Band was formed by Jeff Spencer and Bill Coover in 1978. After the sudden passing of Jeff in Feb '09, drummer Allan Sheinfeld (aka Roy Sludge of The Spurs and The Coachmen) has moved to keyboards, guitar and lead vocals. The band still has Paul "PJ" Justice on bass and Bill Coover on lead guitar and sax. The newest member is Tauras Biskis, a fantastic roots drummer.
As in the past, the band's repertoire includes original and cover songs drawn from rockabilly, surf instrumentals, Tex-Mex, rock & roll, hillbilly and rhythm & blues. Memphis Rockabilly Band has always been known as a great dance band.
They have been privileged to play with artists such as Carl Perkins, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis, Roomful of Blues, Duke Robillard, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Link Wray, Jack Scott, The Persuasions, Etta James and others.
