About Me

Backstep performs old-time stringband music in the "Roundpeak Style" native to Mount Airy, NC. Known for it's driving rhythms and prominent melodies, Roundpeak music is just the thing to make you kick up your heels and dance. The band is excited to have just won first place old-time band at the Mount Airy Fiddler's Convention in 2006. In 2004, Backstep won first prize at both the Fiddler's grove fiddler's convention and the Mount Airy Fiddler's convention! We'd like to say thanks to all our friends who always give us so much support. Stay tuned for the release of our first CD this fall!
