Soft-spoken by nature, South Florida-bred Roosevelt Collier does his hollering on the pedal steel guitar. Brought up in the "sacred steel" tradition of the House of God Church, Roosevelt built his reputation alongside his uncles and cousins in The Lee Boys, known for their spirited, soul-shaking live performances. Seated front and center, "The Dr." leaves an indelible mark on listeners, flooring audiences with his lightning-fast slide work on the pedal steel.

On his own, Collier's become a sought-after talent both on record and on stage, performing alongside musical luminaries in the fields of rock, blues and pop, including the Allman Brothers, The String Cheese Incident, Buddy Guy, Umphrey's McGee, Los Lobos, Robert Randolph, the Tedeschi-Trucks Band, and the Del McCoury Band, among countless others. No matter what the context, when Roosevelt takes the stage, the ear-to-ear grins can't help but be contagious.

Collier's debut album, Exit 16, is a potent mix of blues, gospel, rock and, in his words, "dirty funk swampy grime," as overseen by producer and bandmate Michael League (from the Grammy-winning Snarky Puppy).
