You can’t talk about the local Philadelphia music scene WITHOUT including these two. Drummer Jeff Pancoast & Bassist Roy Fisher have played together for decades. Beginning their partnership in 1977, they have rarely played in other bands without each other. Throughout their long history together, they have opened for all kinds of legendary musicians. From teen idols (Mickey Dolenz), to Rock legends (Rick Danko of The Band) to local legends (John Eddie). Every Philly band knows them. Any band that one of them join, the other is soon to follow. Why? Because they are a package deal. They have been playing together so long that they can read one another making the perfect rhythm section. Roy and Jeff are perfectionists and they take the music seriously. I have never seen a rhythm section as tight as this. If they are playing a cover song, they play it note for note as it was on the record regardless of how complicated it may be.

After 22 years of playing together in various bands, in 1999 they founded a band of their own called The Road Dogs along with guitarist Rick Toy and keyboardist Albert Kleinschmidt. In addition to The Road Dogs, Roy and Jeff are currently also playing in The Scott McClatchy Band, The Mark Evans Band and The Peace Creeps (with Richard Bush of The A’s).
