The Record Company are a swaggering three-piece rock band with a lean, rootsy sound, but don't call them a blues act. While the blues is a major ingredient in their sound, they approach the music in their own way, blending the influences of foundational artists like Muddy Waters and Jimmy Reed with the tougher and more upbeat attack of early rock & roll. The group was formed by three friends who went from listening to old records to playing music inspired by their favorites. Performing small venues for small money, the trio developed a serious buzz in their hometown of Los Angeles, and soon shared bills with major artists, landing a record deal in 2015. Their debut album, 2016's Give It Back to You, was a strong roots rock session that garnered a Grammy nomination, and 2018's All of This Life was more eclectic in its approach, but just as passionate. 2023's The 4th Album split the difference between no-frills tunes and hard-grooving rhythms. The Record Company were formed in 2011 by three serious music fans who had each moved to Los Angeles from the Midwest and East Coast -- Vos from Milwaukee, Wisconsin; bassist Alex Stiff from Wayne, Pennsylvania; and drummer Marc Cazorla from Elmira, New York. Stiff and Cazorla first met during their college days, when they both played in a rowdy blues band that often headlined at frat parties. Once he graduated, Stiff moved to Los Angeles, and after a spell in Nashville, Cazorla followed suit, and the two friends rented a house together to save money. Vos, who grew up on a dairy farm, followed a whim and headed to Los Angeles in 2010 with his wife, and he met Stiff and Cazorla after placing an ad on Craigslist looking for like-minded music buffs. The three men struck up a friendship and would regularly get together to share favorite sides from their extensive vintage record collections over beers. The guys made the jump to forming a band when Cazorla bought a battered drum kit at a garage sale. After posting some rehearsal recordings online, the trio, now known as the Record Company, began playing out, appearing at smaller clubs and record stores where the cover was low (or free) and curious listeners could easily check them out. The strategy worked, as the Record Company developed a significant following in their hometown, and they graduated to larger venues and festival dates, as well as opening for the likes of B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Blackberry Smoke, and Social Distortion.

I also spent a lot of time with a neighborhood family from India. I quickly fell in love with the culture and the music which influenced my style and writing." Rogo immersed herself in jazz and classical orchestras on bassoon, saxophone, and clarinet, claiming to be the "ultimate band geek." She became a young conductor and composed music of different styles and types. "Growing up, my parents were never too much into music, so it was my own special thing- I had no rules to follow or concepts of how it should be, so I just ran with it and threw paint on the walls.” In her late teens, Rogo attended Berklee College of Music and was introduced to, apprenticed and performed with a group of blues musicians that changed her life, guitarist Paul Rishell, who played with and learned from Son House, and world-class harp player Annie Raines, along with country-blues acoustic guitarist Woody Mann, a former student of the legendary Reverend Gary Davis.
