Bobby Koll…as “Brian/Ronnie” – Guitar With the band since January 2000. From his blistering guitar licks and hot slide solos, to his brilliant stage charisma, this veteran Chicago axe slinger is “THE essence of ROCK & ROLL. With keen Rock-A-Billy and blues flavor, a penchant for vintage guitars and amps, this cat rocks like the atomic bomb. Rocked with Chicago's legendary band - The Rockaholics. |

Joe Wejman…as
“Charlie” – Drums
Joe – the founding father of Hot Rocks is back. Joe is back after a hiatus from Hot Rocks to pursue writing and performing original music. Joe has a flair and style that can't be beat. A drummer who is just as comfortable beating out hard rock and country as he is with Stones - playing drums since he was just a 'kid'. Back since August 2008, Joe commands the drums like he never even left. |

Paul Mally…as “Ian (Stu)
Stuart” – Keyboards/Background Vocals
Bangin’ those keys since he’s been old enough to breathe, “P.J.” has been on board since the beginning. Whether it’s the boogie/woogie piano solo in “If You Can’t Rock Me,” the B-3 organ fills in “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” or the ethereal Melotron sounds of “2000 Light Years From Home,” PJ puts the icing on the cake every time, always making it all sound good! Let’s put it this way, the rock world may have lost the great 'Stu', but thankfully has Paul. When he’s not bangin’ the keys with Hot Rocks, he’s playin’ with The Detours. |

Gary – had to leave Hot Rocks due to job related travel
requirements and to spend more time with his family
- he will sit-in from time to time - we will miss him at the shows. A
working drummer since he was 12 years old, and an avid jazz
fanatic
like 'Charlie' himself,
came on board in March
2000, Gary is the glue that holds this band together. He
rocks
like a champion, playing with impeccable timing and
textures.
The
beat
from this “well oiled machine” will make you just wanna get
up and
boogie!
