Nerak Roth Patterson is a prolific songwriter, musician,
and entertainer. Roth has played the blues with various
groups for several years from the USA to Europe, and now
headlines his own band and continues to travel throughout
the world.
His recordings include, Live
at the Cascade with Shade,
Hotsauce N Blues, which features Guy
Davis, Back
In The Day, Bluesdaddy, which features Ian
Anderson and Doane
Perry of Jethro Tull, and Guy
Davis, and his latest accomplishment "Brown
Angel", a 2006 release that won the 2008 top 10 best

Nerak has been on the stage with some of the most influential
bluesman in the world today. He has shared the stage with
Pinetop Perkins, Corey Harris, B.B.
King, Big Jack Johnson, Henry Butler, Jethro Tull, and
Guy Davis, just to name
a few.
Nerak Roth expresses his love for the Blues as a dynamic
guitar player, vocalist, and songwriter. He relies on his
true-life experiences, from his trucking career to his
children and his deep belief in God. Education is not out
of the picture either, as he is just shy of a B.S. degree
in Human Development from Antioch University Midwest in
Yellow Springs, Ohio. From education to his rich cultural
background, he has a world of knowledge and understanding
that is complimentary to his music.
His passion comes from his deep interest in the history
of the blues and drawing on experiences from his own life.
In his own words, “The Blues
is a way of life. Live it to the fullest, and thank God
for every day you have.”
"Roth is one of those rare finds in a world
of increasingly soul-less and machine made music."
Ian
Anderson, Jethro Tull
"Man, I hope you
like lots of money, because the way you play that guitar,
you sure are going to make a lot of it."
BB
King
