Backseat Goodbye | BLOG - Full Live Band Announcement.

October 5, 2009

I wanted to address this directly, so everyone will know the specifics…
beginning with my October tour, I will be adding a full band for my live shows. The thing I wanted to make clear though, was this,… I will still be writing every part of every Backseat Goodbye song you ever hear. The new live band members will literally only be for live shows, they’re not official members of the band, they’re just awesome dudes coming along on tour with me to play bass & drums to make my live shows more fun.

I’ve toured solo for the last five years, and it’s been great (and don’t worry, I’ll still be working solo parts into my shows every single night), but I’ve finally decided it’s time to take my live show up a big step. I can also assure you that just because I’m adding a full live band, that does NOT mean that I’ll be making all of my songs electric or distorted… no no, I’ll still be playing my trusty acoustic on stage for every song… the only difference will be that the songs will actually sound like my recordings instead of stripped down solo versions.

Also, this decision was made by me,… not businessmen behind the curtiain. I’ve wanted to add a full live band for quite some time now, I just feel that the time was ever right until now. I really can’t wait to share this new live show with you. If you’ve ever been to a show of mine before, expect that, except 100 times more fun. My last main point from this, for anyone that’s worried I’ll be changing with this full live band…. don’t worry, I’m still going to be the same guy on stage with an acoustic guitar, singing at the top of his lungs about the good things, except now I’ll just have a couple friends on stage with me to help us all sings these songs a little louder to remind ourselves we’re still alive.
