Hello! 

Back in 2001 I decided that the Shouses would become a musical family and start a rock band. At first it was my 7 year old daughter, Eva Mei, and me. Later, Eva Mei grew up and got less active. In 2019 my wife, Trang, got dragged into the mess. The band is EMS (my daughter’s initials).

We've recorded eight CDs, one DVD, and put 19 videos up on YouTube. I (Roger) played virtually all the music and sang on nearly all of them. Eva Mei played a few licks and sang on several. Trang sang on two (so far) and helped tons with video production.

Here are links to all YouTube videos, with brief description. No particular order. Styles vary from “sweet” to “edgy” to “cute” to “weird.” “Foolish Thing” is great, but “Dreamland” is epic. 

Thanks for clicking.
