CrossRoads - Rockin out the best way we know how..

About Me


My Space or Yours? Myspace Layouts and more at myspaceoryours.net!
We are a two member acoustic band based out of East Freetown and New Bedford in the process of expanding out the band auditioning/adding drums, bass, and lead guitar. We have been together for 4 yrs as CrossRoads. Our first year, we started as a 9 piece Christan Rock band, then downsized to a 3 piece acoustic variety group (piano/guitar, violin, vocals) playing christian, country, classic rock, and acoustic rock hits in an uplifting and inspirational set list. This year, our violinist had to leave the group due to personal issues beyond her control, so we are down to two original members. I, Nikkie Barton, am on piano and acoustic guitar, and share lead vocals/harmonies with Kristen Houde. Our love of music and performing is very evident in our performance and have been bringing a growing crowd and fanbase to our shows each year.We find inspiration for our music through life's beauties
The group is performing in various venues through out the summer. If you would like to book us, please contact us!
We are very active in supporting good causes and ask that you do too
