May 7th - The Lonesome Road Band The Lonesome Road Band regularly travels as a four piece all acoustic group with three vocalist. Instrumentation features banjo, guitar, upright bass and interim mandolin. The group was originally started and organized by guitarist Larry Keith in 1995. The 2011 roster of members, Reese Combs, Paul Eaton , J. Larry Keith and Don Austin, has been together since 2004. Listening to The Lonesome Road Band, you can tell that their influences are varied and almost extreme at times. From the more traditional sound of the great Bluegrass bands of Monroe and Flatt andScruggs to the classic rock era of the 60's and 70's with The Byrds and Crosby, Stills and Nash, their seamless vocal arrangements move effortlessly around with every song. They perform extensively across the Southeast United States. lonesomeroadband.com |
