Jimy Rogers and THE MAUDS: http://www.themauds.com are BACK ! ... Yes, the legendary Midwest R&B / SOUL Group has re-united under the leadership of founder, JIMY ROGERS. Mauds music? It's timeless, soulful and exciting. Baby-Boomers may remember their hits "HOLD ON" or "SOUL DRIPPIN' " from the late 1960's. These are still on the band's playlist. However the Mauds are no nostalgia act. The timeless resurgent R&B sound has assured the eight piece band an even younger and bigger market for the new millennium.
