The Rounders (band)

The Rounders (band)

The Rounders are a roots rock/blues band based out of Oklahoma City that formed during the summer of 2000.

The original lineup consisted of Brian Whitten (vocals, kazoo), Dave Spindle (guitar), Ryan Taylor(guitar), Adam Enevoldsen (bass), and Stuart Williamson (drums). Their first album, "Little Bitty Can of Worms", independently released in 2003, was recorded at Bell Labs Recording Studio in Norman, Oklahoma. The album is an eclectic mix of original jug band music, hokum, alt-country, Chicago style and Mississippi Delta blues.

Shortly after the release of "Little Bitty Can of Worms", bassist/songwriter Adam Enevoldsen left the band to pursue other musical endeavors. The group subsequently became a four piece with Dave Spindle taking over the bass duties. 2004 saw the independent release of their second album, "now-a-day songs". The title of the album came from a book of poetry, Now-A-Day Poems, by early 20th century African-American poet Philander Chase Johnson. During the fall of 2005, The Rounders added local guitar player Michael Stone to the lineup.

The band is currently on Blind Pig Records based out of Chicago and San Francisco. Their first national release, "Wish I Had You", debuted on January 26, 2007.

Noted artist M. Kemper has provided the cover art for all three Rounders' albums.
