Darryl Rhoades (Entertainer)
Biography:
Comedian and musician Darryl Rhoades has quite a biography. In 1975, Rhoades formed the now legendary Hahavishnu Orchestra, a twelve piece musical comedy troupe that traveled nationally until June of 1978. During their 3 1/2 years of touring, Rhoades and band received critical acclaim from Rolling Stone, Playboy, Village Voice and too many other magazines to list. In a review of an appearance in New York, Rolling Stone/MTV critic Kurt Loder proclaimed Rhoades "one of the most savagely gifted writer/performers in the country today". Their show and material was constantly and favorably compared to Zappa, The Fugs, The Tubes and others.
Finally in 1989, after forming and touring with another group, Rhoades started touring as a standup comic/one man show. Between 1989 and 1999 he worked 45 to 50 weeks a year all over the U.S., Canada, and the Caribbean Islands. He also received airplay from syndicated radio shows such as THE DR. DEMENTO SHOW and THE JOHN BOY & BILLY BIG SHOW has helped to create a large following and leaving little time for Rhoades to perform with musical groups.
Rhoades continues to work as a comedian performing gigs in comedy clubs across the country and has released 11 CD's most of which combine both his musical and comedic talents. He also appeared in the critically acclaimed film "Crazy Heart" with Jeff Bridges in 2009 serving as the drummer during some of the shows in the film.
