Our new CD, Take It Slow, Make It Nice, is done!
It’s the Best Country Bluegrass Shit-Kickin' Original Band This Side of the Sierras. Back40’s all-original material brings together all that is good in Americana music, delivered in a unique and quirky way that is guaranteed to keep you smilin’. Blending elements of alt.country, bluegrass, blues, rockabilly, swamp boogie, folk and Cajun, Back40’s music harkens back to a day when there were no artificial stylistic lines in music. The songs are heavy on rhythm and energy, with driving acoustic and electric guitars, sizzling fiddle, thumpin’ bass, and the mighty, mighty washboard. Enthusiastic gang vocals raise the energy and fun even higher. It’s truly a combo effort, with a family spirit, and everyone is having a hell of a good time. In fact, you can even hear us smiling if you listen hard enough. Based in San Francisco, Back40 is Tony Rovello (acoustic and electric guitars, vocals, songs), Patti Weiss (fiddle), Bob Waterman (bass, vocals) and Eric Nelson (washboard, percussion, vocals). We play all around the San Francisco bay area, at popular roots-music venues like the Makeout Room, Knockout, Thee Parkside, San Gregorio General Store, and our living rooms. See you on the
porch!
