Bio
.. .. .. .... .. ...... ......The Corduroy Road.com.. .... .. ...... ...."Athens, Georgia's The Corduroy Road has quickly become one of the finest roots rock bands in the Southeast. Carman and Solise are emerging as one of the strongest young songwriting duos on the Americana scene.” .. -An Honest Tune...... ...."Although rooted in classic Americana, with lots of foot stomping, banjo plucking and pedal steel, The Corduroy Road also has a knack for endearing pop sensibility. It just takes one verse of swaying to the acoustic rhythms before you are singing along the next time the chorus rolls around. It’s the kind of music that practically begs for a sing-along, with Carman and Solise’s rich, organic harmonies leading the way.....Fans of anything from country to bluegrass to folk to rock will especially enjoy The Corduroy Road's notoriously lively shows.” .. -Flagpole...... ....“The chatty banjo, rolling harmonies, the acoustic guitar and melodic, Southern vocals are the name of the game for the Athens quartet. The music is so damn, well comfy, that the quaint country and roots music peppered with folk rock sounds warmly familiar.” .. -Creative Loafing...... ...."An aggressive touring schedule, emotive songwriting, and the band’s commitment to performing down home, honest music has established The Corduroy Road as a buzzworthy band on the indie roots rock scene." .. -Blue Ridge Outdoors Magazine...... .. ...... .. Since its inception by Drew Carman and Dylan Solise in early 2006, The Corduroy Road has melded bluegrass, Americana, folk rock, and old-time country with the rawest of live performances. The two, born and raised in the Central Kentucky Bluegrass Region where they learned their craft, now reside in the musical gem of the southeast: Athens, GA..... With the addition of John Cable on drums, Elijah NeeSmith on bass, and Cameron Thomas on electric guitar, The Corduroy Road quickly gained a reputation in Athens as an up and coming band on the scene after sharing the stage with such notable bands including The Avett Brothers, Paleface, The Packway Handle Band, Ian Thomas, Langhorne Slim, Trampled by Turtles and more..... Athens Banner Herald called them “bluegrass rockers…influenced by old time country and Americana, while the live performances exude the energy of punk rock.”.... In November of 2008, The Corduroy Road entered the studio of local legend John Keane (Widespread Panic, REM, BR549, Uncle Tupelo) to record their debut LP, Love Is a War released in Summer 2009. The title track appeared on the AthFest 2009 compilation CD that is released each year on Ghostmeat Records in conjunction with the prestigious arts and music festival, AthFest. After an exciting and fruitful summer, the band continues to tour the southeast with plans of expanding into even more new regions in 2010. .... .... ...... .. .. .. .. .. ...... .. .... .. .. .. ...... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... .. .. .. .. .. ........Corduroy Road: It'll Be Me........Uploaded by ..eikonproductions...... .. .. .... .. .. .. .. .. ........Corduroy Road: The Healing........Uploaded by ..eikonproductions...... .. .. .... .. .. .. .. .. ........The Corduroy Road: 1889 Johnstown, PA........Uploaded by ..eikonproductions...... .. ...... ...... .... ......Purchase LIVE AT THE 40 WATT Now!.. .... .. ...... .. .... .. .. .. .. .. .. ...................... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .................... .... ..
