[ROCK] Perhaps best remembered for their FM-staple, “Slow Ride,” British boogie-blues quartet Foghat was urged to reform in the early-mid 1990’s by Rick Rubin. Rubin is known for being a production pioneer and has won tons of awards for his work, so the band took his suggestion despite his eventually proving unavailable to produce the album they made at that time, Return of the Boogie Men. Since then, they’ve toured intermittently despite ongoing lineup changes, due mainly to health problems. The lineup suffered a severe blow when longtime bassist Craig MacGregor died of cancer this past winter, but original drummer Roger Earl remains, along with Bryan Bassett on lead guitar and Charlie Huhn on lead vocals, both on board since 2000. Rodney O’Quinn is playing bass in his stead, which includes their show at the Bear’s Den at the Seneca Niagara Casino on Friday, August 31.
