Description

With their solid musicianship, precise harmonies and reverence for every song they perform, Acoustic Road is a versatile rock duo specializing in the faithful re-creation of the classic acoustic rock sounds that helped define the 60's, 70's and 80's (along with some of today's best music). From The Beatles to The Eagles, America to U2, Acoustic Road performs the songs that audiences know and love, but rarely have the opportunity to hear... especially performed live.

Although Acoustic Road is comprised of just two musicians, it definitely doesn't mean they're light on sound. In addition to live guitar, keyboard and vocals, they incorporate multiple layers of other instrumentation (e.g. drums, bass, strings, horns, etc.) into their performances thanks to their Kurzweil Multi-Track Synthesizer/Workstation. This enables Acoustic Road to generate the full, rich sound of a full band - and to perform each song so it sounds incredibly like the original. But don't mistake this for karaoke! All instrument sounds are performed 100% by Acoustic Road. Check out some of their sample music recorded during live performances (e.g. "All You Need Is Love" or Viva La Vida") to hear for yourself!

Acoustic Road consistently succeeds in making audiences smile, sing along and have a great time. So if you're looking for an experienced, versatile, affordable and easy-to-work-with band for your next event, party or reception - then look no further than Acoustic Road!
