Ralph Roddenbery is a hyper, yet laid back, songwriter /performer based out of the Atlanta/Athens area. You will usually find Tommy Jones playing bass, Richie Jones on drums, Ted Norton on lead guitar, and Samantha Alessi-Jones on vocals.. However, Ralph is known to mix up the band a bit and you never know what surprise guest may be in store for you!!

The Ralph Roddenbery Band is a dynamic blend of Americana, roots rock, and a twist of the blues. By combining four part harmonies with energizing riffs, captivating lyrics, remarkable stage presence and a driving rhythm section, RRB is able to connect with their audience in a way that makes them feel as if they are having a one on one conversation about life. The Ralph Roddenbery Band consists of Ralph Roddenbery (lead vocals/rhythm guitar), Ted Norton (lead guitar/vocals), Richie Jones (drums/vocals), Tommy Jones (bass) and Samantha Alessi-Jones (vocals).
Ralph Roddenbery is a unique and impressionable singer/songwriter who has been part of the Athens and Atlanta music scene for many years. He honed his songwriting & performance skills under the tutelage of Bill Berry (R.E.M), John Keane, Randall Bramblett, Davis Causey and Dave Schools (Widespread Panic) while he was living in Athens.
RRB’s lead guitarist, Ted Norton, spent the nineties touring with The Grapes and has a sound that has been compared to the likes of David Gilmore and Jerry Garcia. Tommy Jones gives RRB its smooth bite with his 5 string modulos bass and Richie Jones uses a powerful and dynamic rhythmic approach to his drumming. The voice of Samantha Alessi-Jones is reminiscent of Emmy Lou Harris and Kate Wolf, yet she still has her own unique sound.
RRB is excited to announce the sale of their new album "For So Long" on www.cdbaby.com.
The new tracks sound dynamic and are really very catchy and, of course, your work has always seemed so fresh for a genre that's very vintage in many ways.
I will do my best to make it to one of your shows in the not too distant future, which shouldn't be too hard, since I see you're playing out quite a bit between now and the holidays.
I want to wish you, family and all those who matter most to you, the very best in life, love and everything. -Sheriden
Now here's the shameless self promoting pic that we've all come to know and love so much from our fellow musicians here on Myspace (it's a logo I made and I think it should be a nice addition to the page, but if you disagree, I won't be the least bit offended if you don't post it, or delete it):
