\"RiversClarksville, TN<\/strong> – On Saturday, April 26th, at 1:30pm, the Backroad Brigade took the Courthouse Stage at the 2014 Rivers and Spires Festival playing in front of a large audience.<\/p>\n

I first noticed the band, while I was walking up Franklin Street. I heard their music coming from down North Second street, rock and roll with a blues kind of edge.<\/p>\n

Lead Vocalist and Bassist Dalton Akins, lead guitarist Matt White and drummer Seth Ely have been performing together since 2011.<\/p>\n

They put on a performance that was pure rock \u2019n\u2019 roll delivered with an energy that transferred to the audience. The band was tight, like veterans that had been playing together for a much longer time.<\/p>\n

“I was passing by and stopped to listen to the band. They played really well,” stated Paul Wyatt. “I enjoyed it a lot.”<\/p>\n

Backroad Brigade started their set with a cover of “Seven Nation Army”, followed by one of their originals “Bright Lights”. The rest of the set included: “Working Man Blues”, “Cruzin” (original), “Kryptonite”, “Ghost” (original), “Aint No Rest for the Wicked”, “Wild Woman” (original), “High Roller” (original) and “Simple Man”.<\/p>\n
