Gunnar Roads Band at Seattle's Egans
15 year old Gunnar Roads (pronounced "Gunner") has been studying, practicing, and working hard at developing his talent as a guitarist, singer, and performer since he was 9. Along the way he has had the good fortune of making friends with some outstanding like-minded musicians interested in performing together as the Gunnar Roads Band. The band's current line-up includes: Jordan Hope on Drums, Darin O'Brien on Bass, and Gunnar Roads on Guitar and Vocals. From San Francisco to Seattle, Gunnar Roads and his bandmates are eagerly building their reputation as serious young musicians, entertaining audiences at popular clubs, festivals, and other well attended venues throughout the Northwest. A highlight for the Gunnar Roads Band was being nominated for a 2007 Cascade Blues Association Muddy Award for "Best New Act", while a personal highlight for Gunnar Roads was being nominated for both a 2008 and a 2009 Portland Music Award for "Outstanding Achievement in Blues". This is one genuinely talented band of young performers bringing you great music well beyond their years...
