Meet The BackRoads Band...
The BackRoads Band was originally
formed in the mid 80's when neighbors Roger Hale and Deneen Wardell were
looking for a release from the stress of everyday life. Both cut
their music teeth at an early age, but like many before them had gotten
away from it when 'responsibility' called. It was time to get back
to business... The music business that is....
The band's name came from one of their original songs written by Deneen
named BackRoads. The song is about corporate life in the fast lane and
how much he longed for the good ole' days as a carefree young adult cruising on the
North Texas backroads. The chorus states "I Prefer to spend my time...
Cruzin' on the Backroads of my mind.." A direct reference to
daydreaming about days gone by... and a timeless statement that people
from all walks of life and all parts of the country can relate to.
The BackRoads Band's music brings back those days and throws in some of the
newer "timeless" classics as well.
Like all bands there were
personnel changes over the years, but the one constant was the desire to
just have fun. Things really came together with the addition of
guitarist Danny Vellotti and drummer Kevin Meacham. Danny and Kevin
are both very talented musicians that are exceptionally "laid back" and easy
to get along with. Anyone that has ever tried to keep a band together
understands how important those personality traits are.
The end result
is a group of guys that get along very well with each other and are having a
great time... And if they have a great time so will you...
Let's meet them...
