Rock Bottom started playing the Blues at the age of eighteen. His instrument was the harmonica and the year was 1966. Rock honed his razor edged tone in West central Florida jook joints during the 60's. Rough places like The Honey Dripper, The Palms and Richard Fun Spot in Bradenton. Rock played his music, tunes by Muddy Water, Howlin' Wolf and Sonny Boy Williamson, to a mostly middle-aged, black audience. He also toured Scandinavia and Europe over 30 times beginning in 1981 and had performed at countless shows and festivals throughout the United States. See for yourself what the fuss is all about. Harp lovers will love this!

Rock Bottom was born David York, in Brookville, Indiana on May 6th 1948. His family moved to Florida in 1965. Inspired by his father (who played country music) he picked up a harmonica as a teenager. When he was 18, he learned about the Blues from records by Sonny Boy Williamson and Paul Butterfield and was hooked. Rock would describe his influences "As far as riffs go, my base is pretty much Sonny Boy 2, both Walters, and Howlin' Wolf. As far as attitude goes, my influences are Eddie Kirkland, Muddy Waters and Tampa Red! I like to put the tone and riffs of Chicago Blues on top of the rhythms and beats of New Orleans!".

By 1970 he was known as Rock Bottom and had submerged himself in the Blues, playing small roadhouses and jook joints around the Sarasota/Bradenton area of Florida with his first Blues band, Sugar Daddy. Later he played with the New Highway Man and achieved a local following with Nick Danger & the Heat. Since the early 80s, Rock divided his time between The Silver King Band, Rock Bottom & the Cutaways, and various freelance projects. The Silver King Band gained some success with their mix of Blues, jive and comedy. After 1993, The Cutaways became Rock's primary band, and he toured extensively in Europe, especially to Norway.

After some serious health problems in 1991 and 1992 caused by years of hard living, Rock reformed his life style but continued his great style of blues. Unfortunately on September 28th, 2001, just after returning from a European tour and recording 'Going Nowhere Fast', that hard living finally caught up with him and he left us to go 'Snake Dancin' Through 'God's Barnyard'. In 2002 Rock was posthumously awarded the Florida Folk Heritage Award by the State of Florida at a ceremony in Tallahassee.

The Silver King Band was a sensation from Florida to Norway! With Rock Bottom on harp and vocals, St. Petey Twiggs on piano & vocals and Flo Mingo on washboard and vocals, they rocked and rolled thru the hokum good-time blues of a bygone era. These three zany personalities were loved by all who heard them ... No-holds barred, they were at one time banned in Oslo, Norway which made them more popular then ever! This band actually kicked off in 1980 and back then, they produced some successful vinyl. Their broad vision and off-beat instrumentation tends to make their sound unique. This is stuff you could have heard in a smelly, sweaty Florida barroom.
