Thanks for all your support!!!

About Me

The Backbeat is an original rock band from Central New Jersey trying to recapture the sounds of the 60's along with modern influences, which in essence creates a style all their own. They are all seasoned musicians with the capacity to give you that melody you have been searching for your whole life. They bring loads of energy and excitement to their live performances, and always leave audiences begging for more. Their banter and charm on stage gives off a comfortable presence that draws their audience into having a fun time right along with them. They are currently recording their debut album of original songs which is set for release in the near future. For those of you who do not have a Myspace page but want to contact us, send an email to us at [email protected].
