Fantastic

Steve and James were fantastic!!! They arrived early and set up! They were both very personable and engaging. The music was great and several of our guests asked for their information and how I found them. They made the party a memorable event.

Great Country Band

Attended a birthday party/anniversary party for approximately 40. This band has a great sound and plays a mix of old school country as well as some of the newer Country artist’s songs. This band is a must for your next gathering

Fabulous!

This band was fabulous. They were easy to schedule, sounded amazing, put on a great evening of entertainment. Booked them for a small gathering and the sound quality was perfect - did not blast us out of the building. Will definitely book them again and HIGHLY recommend them for any size affair.

About

BackRoads, a country dance band, caters to audiences who love to two-step, waltz, cha-cha, and line dance. The band delivers great country classics from decades past as well as current songs that honor the traditional sounds of legendary country music. BackRoads members pride themselves on pleasing crowds who want to take a turn on the hardwood floor or simply sit back and relax to some of their favorite country songs.

Established in 1991, BackRoads was formed by James Young. Young, a lead singer with a talented and versatile voice, joined with Donnie Stout, a fiddler with a strong background in gospel and bluegrass music. Later, they were joined by songwriter and lead guitarist Steve Hicks and the backbeat of drummer Tommy Wilson. The newest member of the band, bass player Tim Mahan, adds his diverse musical background to BackRoads' classic country beat.

BackRoads has opened for many popular country performers in and around the Fort Smith area. They have also performed at the Old Fort Days Rodeo on many occasions as well as competed in various band competitions and played at many local venues, popular music festivals, and private events.

A country fiddle, lead guitar licks, a steady rhythm section, and engaging vocals are the perfect combination for a crowd-pleasing country song. BackRoads will keep you entertained with their catalog of country favorites.
