Since their formation, The Q have gained a large cult following despite limited commercial success.
They are well known for being a very versatile group; their style on a single album can range from jazz to blues to country to pop. Fans know and love them for their wacky quirkiness and unpredictability in concert.
NRBQ's 1994-2004 incarnation comprised of members Terry Adams (vocals, keyboards), Joey Spampinato (Bass), Tom Ardolino (drums), and Johnny Spampinato (Guitar). Past members include Al Anderson (1972-1994; Guitar), Tom Staley (1967-1974; drums), Steve Ferguson (1967-1971; Guitar), and Frank Gadler (1967-1972; Vocals, Cowbell). The band's most stable incarnation lasted from 1974 to 1994 and consisted of Terry Adams, Joey Spampinato, Tom Ardolino and Al Anderson.
The band has kept a small, but extremely devoted cult following in its 40 year career. Many well known celebrities are fans of the group, such as George A. Romero, Mike Scully, Matt Groening, Elvis Costello, John Sebastian, Bob Dylan, Bonnie Raitt, Penn and Teller and various staff members of the review website Allmusic.
The band's only chart hit was 1977's "Get that Gasoline Blues" (which only hit #70 on the American pop charts) and the band would only briefly flirt with success throughout their career (such as the band's several guest performances on the extremely popular Animated sitcom The Simpsons during the show's 10th, 11th and 12th seasons, and the inclusion of their song "Wacky Tobacky" on the soundtrack of the the TV show Weeds). The band is also known for persuading their record label Rounder to reissue the record Philosophy of the World by outsider music artists The Shaggs.
The band formed in Miami, Florida in 1967, and moved to New Jersey, and then New York City in hopes of a record deal, where in 1968, they cut their first Album, the self-titled "NRBQ" on Columbia, released in 1969. This was followed by "Boppin' the Blues" which featured rockabilly legend Carl Perkins. Columbia, disappointed with the band's lack of Album sales, dropped the band after these two records. NRBQ moved on to Kama Sutra records, where they recorded 2 more albums, before moving on to Rounder Records, where they have been until forming their own label, Edisun in 2002. The band has been on hiatus since 2004.
In 2011, founding keyboardist Terry Adams announced he was reforming the band and that they would release a new album, "Keep This Love Goin'", the band's eighteenth studio album, later in the year. Adams is the only previous member of NRBQ that is a member of this new incarnation.

I Found A Love
NRBQ Lyrics
I love her, she loves me
And i wont leave her
if she wont leave me
it may seem funny that she's always on my mind
that in every dream she'll always be there
well, i need her; and she needs me
we'll cling to each other
like no one can explain
i'm so sure about it
it's all so plain to see
that she's just the only girl for me
It may seem funny, that she's always on my mind
that in every dream she'll always be there
Well i love her, and she loves me
And i wont leave her
If she wont leave me
And i wont leave her
if she wont leave me
it may seem funny that she's always on my mind
that in every dream she'll always be there
well, i need her; and she needs me
we'll cling to each other
like no one can explain
it's all so plain to see
that she's just the only girl for me
It may seem funny, that she's always on my mind
that in every dream she'll always be there
Well i love her, and she loves me
And i wont leave her
If she wont leave me

@snipsnaps1
Oh man
Scott and Casey need to dive into this, please.
@DavidM-fc1bl
I believe "Globedaddy" is referring to the burial site of the Wicked Wilson Picket, who is buried at Evergreen Cemetery in
Louisville. Steve Ferguson is laid to rest at Cave Hill Cemetery, also in Louisville.
@ultracalicokittycat
and now probably Donn Adams was buried in Louisville.... 😔🙏
@globedaddy8671
Evergreen Cemetery, Preston Highway, Louisville, KY. Main road dead ends into a mausoleum. 3/4 back, left side, waist high lays the Wicked. Sometimes I visit. No one else is ever there. I really hope he’s never alone for long.
@independentmusicguy
Globedaddy, what a beautiful sentiment and statement. I will visit him. I was not close to him personally but a huge fan. Steve loved my father-in-law, who was a great friend to him. For that reason, the Midwest Creole Ensemble played my wedding reception in 1993 for a grand total of $500. He asked for less, union scale at the time, but I had budgeted for $500 and told him that they were worth $5000 +. He humbly accepted my "overpayment". What a brilliant and amazing soul this guy was!
@marthabell6209
Steve's gravesite is in Cave Hill.
