The Radiators were formed in New Orleans in 1978, the result of a casual afternoon jam session in keyboardist Ed Volker’s lakefront garage. Later that same week they learned several original songs that they still play live today. They soon became an integral part of the re-vitalization of the New Orleans music scene that saw the growth of the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and the birth of the city’s premier music club, Tipitina’s. Signed by Epic Records in 1987, they released 3 studio albums, which received widespread radio play and featured such Rads‘ classics as “Like Dreamers Do”, “Doctor Doctor”, “Con¬dential”, and “Suck The Head”.

Long before there was a phenomenon called Jam Band Music, The Radiators’ shows were noted for their seemingly in¬finite repertoire and their soulful, inspired improvisations. Time has seasoned The Radiators, but far from slowing them down they still keep up a brisk and comprehensive tour schedule playing close to 150 dates a year and still selling out shows in such major markets as New York, San Francisco, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, Los Angeles and Denver. They have held down one of the coveted closing spots at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival for 20+ years and....yes, you can still ¬find them onstage at Tips and all of the other legendary New Orleans clubs.
