Rockhouse 1.0 was founded by drummer Zbig, and enjoyed success in the Chicagoland cover band scene. Years after disbanding, his desire to get back in the game was set in motion when former band member Vlad was brought back in. Zbig and Vlad both agreed they’d only give it another shot if they could find other members who shared their vision, dedication, and professionalism. Dave found his way into Rockhouse, and quickly earned his position as front man. To aid in recruitment, 5 studio videos with just those three were produced and uploaded to YouTube. While in one of his many retirement phases, bassist John found these videos in a Craigslist ad. He was so intrigued by not only the song choices, but the quality of sound and playing, that he reached out quickly. While a keyboard player with the desire and skills needed proved elusive, Vlad stepped up and played and programmed the keys and backing elements for Rockhouse. Rick, the “special guest” on our next 5 studio videos then joined RH as the full time key and synth specialist with occasional guitars as needed.

Since 2022 when this all started, Rockhouse has since released over 40 live professional-grade videos on the popular YouTube channel. As of early 2026, we are approaching 2 million views! And we are always shocked to see how many fans we have all over the globe.
