RognboB - The Gospel of Goof

RognboB - The Gospel of Goof

This site updated January 24, 2009

Our debut CD "Calling in Well" which contains fourteen tracks of mostly original material, is selling well.

We almost have enough stuff figured out to start on #2 but we have some hefty choices to make.

RognboB are Roger Ellithorpe and Bob Iltis. We live, write and perform songs in rural Southern Illinois. Our tendency is to be silly and have a good time with our music. We do not intend to offend but this is a difficult endeavor when purposely making fun of everyone.. Roger likes to write poetry and plays guitar, mandolin, and occasionally a banjo. Bob likes to compose and plays too many things including the guitar, mandolin, souzaphone(tuba), and anything else that makes sound. In the picture at right, Bob is slightly closer to Vienna and Roger is slightly closer to Metropolis.

Check out a recent YouTube video of us that was performed at Inheritance Valley Vineyard.
