Outlier Profile - Roger Silverberg
back to Who Are These Guys?
| |
| Roger is a kindred musical spirit who met Joel a few years back while partaking in some local civic-minded activities. He plays guitar, keyboards and sings, and writes many of the original tunes performed by his band - Jericho Turnpike. Roger has been a good friend of The Outliers for many years, and we always enjoy his company and musical participation at our gigs. | |
