Description:
Back n Mild is a local cover band that consists of 4 members Padric Toman (guitar and vocals), Kate Sanderson (vocals, keyboard, and guitar) Ben Stokes (bass guitar) and John Mahoney (drums). We all come from a diverse musical back ground with a love of all music. When you come and check us out you will be able to hear each unique ear of music from our song list which consists of anything from Tom Petty to Kings of Leon. You are almost guaranteed to hear something that you want to hear.


Band Members:
Kate Sanderson is at her happiest when she is making music and has been singing since the day she was born, but Black N Mild is her first experience in a band. She sang in chorus all through school, took piano lessons as a teen and finally picked up the guitar some years later. Kate spent some time singing in karaoke bars before being invited to play with what has been a fledging Black N Mild in December 2008. She put some songs together with the band and hasn’t looked back since. She is jokingly referring to as the “Mild” in Black N Mild, but don’t let that fool you. Kate loves all kinds of music but some of her greatest influences have included Grace Potter, Bonnie Raitt, Ray LaMontagne, KT Tunstall, and Stevie Nicks.

After being raised in the hills of Kentucky, Ben Stokes somehow found his way to the shores of Virginia and discovered the talents of Black N Mild. He has learned over the last 30 years to master the bass guitar in the most unorthodox manner of playing. His style is unlike any other. He has played with nearly every style of musician and venue. Out of all the bands that he has worked with, Black N Mild holds his deepest devotion and sincere commitment> Look out for this band!!

John Mahoney is the backbone to the rhythm section and what moves Black N Mild along. Black N Mild would not be what it is without his musical vision. John may be a rock drummer but don’t underestimate his ability to funk it up or swing like Shelly Mann. If you’re lucky, you may catch one of his show stopping drum solos at the next show.

Padric Toman moved to Virginia when he was 21. After a couple of years, he joined the 80’s tribute band One Step Beyond and toured the east coast with them for 4 years. Along with hundreds of live performances and studio sessions, Padric has for a handful of recording artist and remains involved with the music industry. Preferring tasteful licks to shredding solos, Padric is more concerned with a tight groove than showing off.
