Backroads voted "Sudbury's Best band" 2005 & 2006!! - Wild Side Edge

BACKROADS brings a potent mix of energy, melody and 'in your face' performance to the stage. Their debut CD "Precious Things" has met with rave reviews and popular audience response. As an original hard rock 4-piece they write, record and perform their guitar and vocal-driven music with the attitude that you have to 'Serve it up hot and serve it up tight'.

The band consists of Matt Doherty on lead guitar and vocals, Troy Richardson on lead vocals, Chris Doherty on drums and Andrew Boyd on bass guitar. They are as comfortable in the studio as they are on stage. The audience response has been so positive that they've received the "Sudbury's Best Band" award 2 years in a row!

No strangers to Toronto, Backroads has headlined at The Opera House and The Rivoli with great success. They have participated in the "Canadian Music Week 2005 Band Slam Finals" with State of Shock & Tupelo Honey. They have also opened for the likes of Trooper, Helix, Thornley, The Trews, High Holy Days, Boy and more...
