Rocket
\ Drums
and Vocals:
Joining the band in Feb/2022, Rocket brings a high dose of talent and
energy. Hailing from Mobile, AL, Robert is not only an
accomplished drummer, he also possesses a great sense of humor that
keeps the band grounded, in stitches and on edge.
In
1975 Rocket was gifted his first drum set, a Pearl acrylic tiger skin
set and he's been rockin' ever since. A self-taught drummer
with the influences of Queen, The Police, Rush and Led Zeppelin to
guide him. He played his first solo drum concert in 1975 for
Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings at his father's home in
Nevada. He describes his style as syncopated rock drumming
between the likes of Stewart Copeland and Neil Peart. If he
could play with any band on Earth it would be The Police or Journey.
Rocket
brings originality with influences from 80's arena rock drumming to Worx.

Billy \ Guitar and Vocals:
From the band's
early years to present, Billy has been the one true "foot
soldier" for Worx. His father played guitar in
the 1950's group "Walt
Benton & The Diplomats", which was out of Atlanta, Georgia.
Billy was exposed
to a wide range of different music styles at a very early age.
Playing guitar at age 6, and singing at age 15, he has honed these
two talents into one tightly wrapped package.
His playing and singing
offers audiences a chance to see and hear something
special. Being able to sing lead vocals without taking away
from the guitar work is a rarity these days, but to do each with spot
on accuracy is quite another.
Playing in a band
that holds itself to a higher standard really does come across in the
sound of the music, and in the fan appreciation and applause.

Caz
\ Bass
and Vocals:
In January 2025,
Worx welcomed new bassist, Caz. A multi-instrumentalist by
trade, but a bassist at heart. Originally auditioning as a
drummer, he's now full time on the low end as well as adding in on
backing and lead vocals.
His musical
background covers several genres including jazz, blues, hard rock,
metal, and even EDM (DJ/Emcee). Caz states, "Classic arena
rock was my biggest influence in picking up string and percussion
instruments." Being the posessor of many musical
talents has enabled him the opportunity to open for tourning acts as
well as play venues like Whiskey a Go Go and Hard Rock Cafe.
He received his Music
Degree in 2015 and briefly put down the instruments to focus on
managing the entertainment dept. for a venue booking
entertainment. He has also served as a choir director for a
local church.
Being so well-rounded in
music, Caz certainly brings a formidal music and vocal force to the band. |
Steve-O\ Keyboards, Guitar and Vocals:
Steve joined the band
in September / 2007 and is known as "the best utility man in the business."
Steve was a guitarist
and keyboardist for a couple of local bands that played in and
around the Mobile area. After the inevitable band break-ups,
Steve came on board ready to get prepared for one of Worx's biggest
shows of 2007 on the first day of BayFest for a local radio station.
His added
talents on guitar and backing vocals are welcome attributes for
Worx. In a live setting on many songs you can see Steve
with both hands on the keyboards, as well as having that trusty
Stratocaster strapped on. It's quite a treat to watch Steve
pulling double (sometimes triple) duty on stage.
Steve is a big reason
why Worx has such a full sound that their fans have come to
know. It's a magical thing to hear and see a 4-piece band that
can generate a full wall of sound that rivals other bands with five
and six members. |
