HERE ARE SOME TIDBITS FROM A FEW ARTICLES FROM OUR LOCAL PAPERS
Country flavors singer's CD
From The Tampa Tribune
By Lenora Lake
"the country crowd was on its
feet-clapping, turning and moving in a line dance to the beat.
The dancers at Steve's Fountain View Restaurant didn't know the song that
had them moving was written by the man singing it--a home-grown performer."
Local Country Artist Dreams Of Success
From Neighborhood Lifestyles By Reade Moore
"The show at Steve's is very charismatic and the songs are well performed. Allen has a wonderful on-stage personality, which doesn't fully come across on the CD."
"Roger is awesome,' says Taylor. 'He is bright, active and good-looking.' Taylor brings everyone she knows with her to see Allen. 'I spend every bit of my free time listening to him. He's really wonderful.' Taylor adds that she, 'would be happier then they (the Allen's) would if I heard them on the radio.' She promises
to follow the band if they ever go on tour. 'I'm a big grouppie. I am the groupie,' she admits."
Musician ready for big break
From the St. Petersburg Times By Logan D. Mabe
"He's got a big following, but every Friday and Saturday night he's got a different crowd," said Fountain View owner Steve Gogas. "He's a terrific guy. He's a pro. He's never been late
, never missed a date. Even if he was sick, he was here. You don't have to tell him when to play and when to stop. He plays the crowd. If he has to play two hours straight, he plays two hours straight."
