JT Sears & The Roebux
PopJ.T. Sears was the original lead singer for the Casinos. He left that group in the early 1960s and eventually hooked up with a working Cincy band, the Matadors. Together they billed themselves as J.T. Sears and the Rowbux. The Sears department store had been known as Sears Roebuck (they dropped the Roebuck name in the 1960s) so a phonetical change gave themselves a catchy moniker.
