The BackRoads Band was originally formed in the mid 80's when neighbors Roger Hale and Deneen Wardell were looking for a release from the stress of everyday life. Both cut their music teeth at an early age, but like many before them had gotten away from it when 'responsibility' called. It was time to get back to business... The music business that is....The band's name came from one of their original songs written by Deneen named BackRoads. The song is about corporate life in the fast lane and how much he longed for the good ole' days as a carefree young adult cruising on the North Texas backroads. The chorus states "I Prefer to spend my time... Cruzin' on the Backroads of my mind.." A direct reference to daydreaming about days gone by... and a timeless statement that people from all walks of life and all parts of the country can relate to. The BackRoads Band's music brings back those days and throws in some of the newer "timeless" classics as well.Like all bands there were personnel changes over the years, but the one constant was the desire to just have fun. Things really came together with the addition of guitarist Danny Vellotti and drummer Kevin Meacham. Danny and Kevin are both very talented musicians that are exceptionally "laid back" and easy to get along with. Anyone that has ever tried to keep a band together understands how important those personality traits are.The end result is a group of guys that get along very well with each other and are having a great time... And if they have a great time so will you...
