Members of RTB have worked with the likes of The Band, Little Feat, Bill Monroe, Pete Seeger and Arlo Guthrie. Together they have shared the stage with members of The Grateful Dead, The Allman Brothers, and New Riders of the Purple Sage. They have performed at festivals and concerts with The Jerry Garcia Band, Los Lobos, The Funky Meters, Leftover Salmon, String Cheese Incident, Max Creek and The Derrick Trucks Band. RTB's large original repertoire feature funky, bass oriented rhythms and foot stomping percussion. Bouncy guitar lines pull the whole groove together and create an entrancing state that makes ones body want to move.
Soulful melodies are immediately memorable.
Even the bands cover tunes have a distinctly 'Torricized' feel and include B-side tunes from The Grateful Dead, The Allman Brothers and others. All are excellent examples of their dedication and meticulous approach to the quality of their music. On stage the band's energy is intense. These boys are not afraid to break a sweat and rarely have a problem getting the crowd on their feet. One club owner called them the hardest working band he'd ever met.
