Roamer / Brian Dolzani Band

Roamer

Roamer is real.

Reports of their demise have been greatly exaggerated.

Having cut their teeth right here in Fairfield, the six band members wandered the highways and byways in anonymity, honed their craft, and grew beards of varying lengths. Emerging from this vision quest in 2025, the boys headed straight to Tiny Bunker Studio to record their recently released album, The American Condition, a musical reckoning of the situation at large.

To culminate a string of multiple sold-out shows, Roamer proudly brings The American Condition Tour back home to Stage One. Fronted on acoustic guitar by singer-songwriter Tim Sather, bandmates pass the instruments around and add layered harmonies to a catalog of original tunes peppered by the sporadic but scrupulously chosen deep-cut cover. A tapestry of sounds (keys, guitars, mandolin, horns, and the occasional accordion) add the special sauce to Tim’s savory melodies and evocative lyrics. All are kept in line by a rootsy and dynamic rhythm section that sparkles from deep within the velvet pocket. Blending diverse influences of Americana, Bluegrass, Rock and Reggae, their sound is hard to pin down but has been likened to that of The Band’s Music from Big Pink but sans Bob Dylan’s meddling (Tim’s prosody is on par).

Like Sasquatch and the Grays, Roamer is real.

Seeing is always believing.
