Welcome to our site. Rotary Club is the musical brainchild of NYC guitarist, singer, songwriter Tom Devaney, who, along with a few compatriots from NYC and Boston, has been brewing a mix of what one reviewer described as “intensely imaginative melodicism and dazed, yelping Americana” since 2005. Indie zine The Big Takeover described Rotary Club’s sound as “Leadbelly, Charlie Patton, and Skip James joining the Band for Meat Puppets covers.” We liked that one.

Rotary Club has just released its second LP, Second Year In Swine. As with the debut Vis-a-vis, Second Year In Swine was produced by ex-Pere Ubu bassist Tony Maimone. Maimone also played bass on Vis-a-vis and performs live with the group when he can be extricated from the producer’s chair at Studio G Brooklyn. Which isn’t often.

Second Year In Swine and Vis-a-Vis are available on Bandcamp. Rotary Club is also available on ITunes and CDBaby. And if this isn’t enough promotion, don’t forget to join Rotary Club on Facebook, because when it comes to the rock, one can never be over informed.

Rotary Club, at one time or another, has featured:

J. Johnson – Bass, mandolin, and all sorts of keyboards.

Tony Maimone – Bass, percussion.

Chris Weinberg – Drums, percussion

Gordon Withers – Cello

Mike Savage – Drums

Jonah Sacks – Cello

Billy Donohue – Keyboards
