Dex Romweber

Carrboro Dex Romweber

For nearly 30 years, **Dex Romweber** has been the password to a cool club, where Rock and Roll is still real. Through his wild and wildly influential work with *Flat Duo Jets*, his namesake *Duo* and solo, he’s impacted artists like the *White Stripes, The Black Keys, the Kills* and dozens of other bands that have stripped down,

turned up, and cut loose. Through the 13 originals and far ranging covers on *'Carrboro'*, Dex plays most of the instruments and assumes several musical mantles. From sparse and jumpy hillbilly liveliness to a fuller band sound and soundtrack-like ghostly roller rink murder caper, *'Carrboro'* plays like the jukebox at the honky tonk saloon and Tin Pan Alley jazz club at the end of the tracks.
