The Heymakers play authentic rockabilly/honky tonk music. The roots of rockabilly are blues, country, gospel, and jazz, and it is experience in these types of music that sets The Heymakers apart from other bands.
The Heymakers are:
Pat Roberts-Lead Guitar and Vocals
Pat's strong, impassioned vocals are among the best around. His echo-drenched, vintage style guitar playing mixed with his vocals make for a stunning performance. His influences include Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis, Hank Williams, and Faron Young.
He has been seen in many local bands over the years incuding: The Torpedos, Small Paul and Drivin Wheel, The Stilettos, The Rustlers, The Longhorns, and The Benders.
Joel "Jolt" Laterneau -Drums
Joel is well known around the valley as being the drummer for Kenny Love and The Rockerfellas. He is a master of vintage honky tonk and rockabilly, and flat out gets it!
Paul Thomas-Upright Bass and Vocals
Paul was the bassist in the Hoodoo Kings among many other well known bands, including the Rhythm Room All-Stars. He has backed many blues legends and is a specialist in honky-tonk, blues, and rockabilly.
