Backrode

Backrode started out in a tiny bedroom in the rugged but beautiful American Southwest. A fitting frontier for sharing the joys and sorrows that inspired the meaningful lyrics found in Backrode’s songs. 
A sound that pulls from dark country and gothic Americana influences like Johnny Cash’s legendary presence, the moody atmosphere of The Civil Wars, the sharp, fierceness of Jace Everett, and the dark storytelling of Amigo the Devil.
Unapologetically country with an edge, rock bleeds into folk and bluegrass, held together by modern guitar work that feels both familiar and fresh.
Backrode’s lyrics explore the darker side of life, touching on the experiences of heartbreak, loss, and the absence of faith.
It’s the kind of music that stays with you long after you’ve stopped listening.
This project started with painful memories put to lyrics, a guitar, and a dream. 
New single “The Devil’s Got A Banjo,” Backrode keeps pushing that mix of traditional roots and darker storytelling even further.
