The threesome that made up Joey D’s Rockin’ Oldies Band is now a twosome. But that has not at all stopped the band from playing local gigs with their party-style repertoire of doo-wop, Motown, R&B, pop, disco and more.
At the end of last year, guitarist Bobby Warren departed from the group, leaving drummer Joey D. (Joseph D. Schrull) and lead vocalist John Bishop to carry on. Hence the group’s new name: Joey D – Johnny B – Rockin’ Oldies Band. Between the two of them, they have more than 100 years of performing experience.
“We’re busy as ever,” said Bishop. “We have more than 100 bookings already.”
