DESCRIPTION:
Backstreet combines energetic stage-presence with fine musicianship to help make your event special. Based in the North Carolina Blue Ridge, Backstreet has been performing their eclectic mix of acoustic roots music since 1985. The 5-member band includes seasoned veterans Jeff Pardue (fiddle, banjo, accordion), Randy Gambill (mandolin, guitar), Keith Oliver (guitar), Joe Hannebach (bass), and Roger Miller (guitar, mandolin). Backstreet has performed at countless weddings, private parties, festivals (including world-famous Merlefest), and music venues across North Carolina and the Southeast. The band completed a tour in England and Scotland in 2003. Backstreet has produced 2 CDs; "Another Look"(2002) and "Live at The Famous Bein Inn" (2004). The band is scheduled to release a CD of all-original music in 2007.The band's extensive, intelligent repertoire is influenced by bluegrass, old-time, folk, western swing, blues, and Celtic music to name just a few styles. Band members consider that they are a product of their environment. From their home in the N.C. Blue Ridge they have been exposed to the rich heritage of traditional music this region has fostered. Choosing songs both old and new, songs that everyone knows and gems recovered from the depths of obscurity, Backstreet lends to each song the band's own unique sound and energy. They also perform many original songs written by band members. Strong, tight vocal harmonies are an important element of Backstreet's music.

They were wonderful!!!! What an awesome experience from start ot finish. They were great at keeping communication after we had booked with them. They played alot of different instruments from the mandolin to the accordian to the violin. They did this wonderful Tennesse Waltz that was superub. They're not your average bluegrass band, they were very professional and they sounded awesome. Almost everyone at the party came up to me and asked me where I found this band. I overheard many conversations talking about how good the band was. They truly made this party such an amazing memory. They even learned a song that they didn't know just for me, I could tell thåt †hey had put a lot of though† into this particular performance. I would highly recommend them!!!
