Band Biography

As every family with youngsters in the Washington, DC area knows, Rocknoceros is three guys: Coach, Williebob, and Boogie Bennie. They have been making award-winning music together since 2005 and are celebrating their 10th year together with a brand new album.

Coach and Boogie, best friends since they were five years old, endlessly listened to Beatles records in Boogie’s suburban bedroom while “waiting for Williebob,” who appeared on the scene in high school. The three have been making music ever since, although it wasn’t until 2005, when Coach was raising young’uns of his own, that the inspiration for Rocknoceros finally crystallized.

In its first decade as a band Rocknoceros has entertained tens of thousands of fans throughout the country and gained significant national recognition with performances at Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits, Wolf Trap, and The Kennedy Center
