Music by TOMMY ROXX “Who In The Hell”

By Tom Parrish
Even though Florida is made up of people from all over the United States and all over the world, let's never
forget that Florida is part of the South. Being part of the South means Country, and in this case--Country
Rock. In the Tampa Bay region, you can't even think about Country Rock without thinking about TOMMY
ROXX. One variation of the band, called NUTHIN' FANCY, is considered one of the best, if not THE best
LYNYRD SKYNYRD tribute band anywhere. In this feature however, I will focus only on the original project,
TOMMY ROXX BAND.
TOMMY "Roxx" DOUOHAT blasts out his vocals from behind his custom made, one-of-a-kind mic stand. His
look, voice and stage presence bring visions of the great RONNIE VAN ZANT himself. He is surrounded by
talent, featuring ROCKY DIAMOND and BRIAN JEFFERIES on guitars, STEPHEN PROSE on bass, PETE KANE
on keyboards and BRIAN BRADFORD on drums. This awesome band was formed through the combining of
three top Florida Southern Rock bands, TOMMY "ROXX" BIG DEAL, DIAMOND GRAY and REBEL PRIDE, to
form one powerhouse band.
