Rooted in Portland, Oregon, Rich Layton and the Troublemakers emerged in 2003 with a sound rooted in roots rock, honky-tonk, and swamp blues. Over the years, the project has evolved into a dynamic performers’ act that blends rock, blues, country, and zydeco influences into a high-energy Gulf Coast roots experience. Rich Layton’s music invites listeners to ride a groove-laden journey—from smoky roadhouse vibes to infectious zydeco-infused rhythms. Whether you’re a die-hard blues fan or new to swamp rock, this is a show that delivers a straight-ahead good time.
