Music types:
Bluegrass, Americana
Description:
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 Backstreet’s music.
