Who are the Black Bottom Biscuits?
The Biscuit story begins in a 1959 Chevrolet El Camino, a silver one with the fins, chrome trim, and a black interior. It was Grandaddy Rogerson's truck, and after Sunday dinner, two young boys named Arnie and Darryl Jones would spend hours sitting in it listening to Hank William's Greatest Hits on the 8-track tape player. Grandfather Jones had an 8-track player too, and at his house the boys would listen to Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs over and over. Their great uncles were in a working country and bluegrass band that would play almost every 4th of July at the family reunion. Mom was an Elvis fan, and all this music became the soundtrack of life for two boys growing up in the midlands of South Carolina.
As time went by, the boys were having so much fun and getting such a good response from people that they decided to get a little more serious about making music together. Regular rehearsals started, and in early 2002 the Black Bottom Biscuits began performing as a band.
In their first three years, the Biscuits have found themselves playing all kinds of shows, from birthday parties, barbeques, and wedding rehearsals to church groups, biker bars, music festivals and charity events. Along the way we have written a good many of our own songs, and we released our first CD, entitled "Moonshiner's Daughter", in September 2003, followed by our second release, "Too Many Cars In My Yard" in 2005.
The Biscuits also perform songs by other artists that we respect and admire. If you like bluegrass, country, rock'n'roll, rockabilly, and just about any other kind of music, just ask us...we probably like it and play some of it.
