Career
He is the cousin of Johnny Knoxville. He has also been featured on the television show Wildboyz. Knoxville and Wade currently host an hour-long weekly show, "Big Ass Happy Family Jubilee" (named after a Wade song), on Sirius XM"s Outlaw Country channel.
Wade"s lyrics satirically and detrimentally deal with topics and stereotypes relating to redneck and honky tonk culture.
Before nearly every live song, Roger states, "this is a song about a girl". He co-wrote the hit song "Country State of Mind" with Hank Williams, Junior.
His songs feature folky arrangements, featuring little or no accompaniment beyond acoustic guitar. His best known compositions include "BlackBerry Gun," "Butt Ugly Slut," "Doctorate-R-U-North-K," "Poontang," and "If You"re Gonna Be Dumb." Wade"s lesser known works are less hysterical and carry a more lyrical tone including "The First Time I Saw Waylon," "Brainerd Road," and "Jingle Jangle".
Wade currently does voiceover work for WUUQ 97.3 and 99.3 FM, a classic country station in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
