Roger Jaworski

Rubber Soul Band Bio

Roger Jaworski (Ringo) 2005 - 2014 Call it karma that brought this lad to this band. Born July 7th, he shares the same birthday as Ringo. Both left handed, as well as sharing some of the same facial attributes, namely an overly large beak. Call him the “Ringo” of the Midwest! After years of playing in rock and corporate variety bands around the Midwest, he has learned how to play many styles of music. This well-rounded education has been invaluable to simulating Ringos’ style of drumming. His first awakening to the “Beatles” was the mesmerizing sounds of the “Magical Mystery Tour” album. As a young lad, he remembers countless hours of paging through and listening to this album book ala “Blue Jay Way”.
