The Rotary Prophets are a roots rock band based in Somerville MA. Primarily powered by the evocative story songs and narratives of singer-songwriter John Maloney, along with song contributions from keyboardist Ted Collins and guitarist Damon Vrettos, the Rotary Prophets have quickly emerged as powerful and unique voice within the Boston music scene. The band's sound falls somewhere between the alt-country of Son Volt and the traditional americana of The Band, tempered with hints of rockabilly, blues, power-pop and classic rock. 

Featuring past and current members of the bands Monophonic, Lorntell, The Rationales, The Rapid Shave, Dearborn Valley, Powderhouse, Up From The Sky and The Silver Lining, the Rotary Prophets first came together in the fall of 2012 and played its first gig at the Lizard Lounge in January, 2013. They have already shared the stage with local acts like Glenn Yoder, Autum Hollow, Airplane, the Summer Villians, Bryan Pero, New Million Box, The Longwalls, Brendan Boogie, Powderhouse and Nate Leavitt. A 5 song EP was released on Sept. 17. 2013, and the band will be playing shows throughout the Northeast to promote the album.
