SUMMARY:Lonesome Road Band
DESCRIPTION:The Lonesome Road Band regularly travels as a three piece group\, featuring banjo\, guitar\, and bass. In a nutshell\, the band plays country and folk\, but that wonderfully rustic country that walks you down a dirt road\, with a pleasant breeze tickling your face\, while the grasshoppers chirp. Founded back in 1995\, the band has gone through a few changes in members\, but has never lost its heart and soul – thanks in abundance to its founder Larry Keith. The charming yet stark fervency of The Lonesome Road Band’s music instantly takes audiences back to a time where songs told the world of man’s great love and great sorrows. Huddled around a vintage mic\, the group would be right at home next to the Soggy Bottom Boys in “O Brother Where Art Thou.”

With Rush Morgan on guitar and Mark Dye on upright bass\, all three of the members are songwriters and lead singers\, lending a depth and variety of original material beyond the band’s relatively short time together.
