ROCK YA ALL NIGHT LONG!!!!

About Me

A San Diego based funk/rock band, originally formed in 2003. The 5-piece group blends syncopated grooves and tight compositions, featuring extended live jams, which rise and fall with dynamic intensity. Big BackYard's musical arrangements offer a refreshing combination of vintage funk and powerful rock. The songs are written and recorded in a disciplined, radio friendly format, while the live performances showcase the band's ability to control and extend intricate jams. The EP represents the variety of influences, and arrangement abilities of the group as a whole.
"Big BackYards music combines the elements of mid seventies Pop Funk with more of a current musical and vocal sound. Peppered with enthusiastic, mesmerizing jam sections, each track off the EP showcases individual talent as well as the bands ability to gel as one. Live performances of the same songs are often times extended to allow the audience to groove along." -Rich Kubicz, Let's Rock America
"Presenting an inimitable combination of everyone's favorite artists this group compels an audience to remember the name: Big Backyard, because they must surely be a breakthrough band." -George Mills, Flagstaff Live!
"A group that is more than capable (of) producing excellent music that spans the genres of Rock, Funk and Jazz. Funky keyboard riffs, combined with an excellent rhythm section make for something completely different, and completely enjoyable" -Mark Lush, Midwestbands.com
