Album Notes

An all acoustic band paints pictures with its sweet Americana sound of the Texas Hill Country in this debut CD. With five originals and four live songs among its 16 tracks, Biking with Beverly will satisfy lovers of up-tempo, tight pickin’ tunes. The splendid harmonies and brilliant instrumental work of this foursome never let you down. Among the songs penned by George Rios (guitar, vocals, dobro) is the haunting “Healing Hands,” with guest violinist Darcie Deaville of the Austin Lounge Lizards. Will Grover (mandolin, vocals), Janice Larsen (banjo, vocals) and Justin Chomel (upright bass, vocals) are the other members of this exciting band from the Lone Star State. Blacktop Bend has been wowing Texas audiences and once you hear this record you’ll know why.
