About this Act

The Backroom Band are a top class multi-talented and highly experienced female-fronted four-piece band with a diverse range of classic rock, pop, soul and reggae covers to suit most tastes. Each band member has multi-instrumental skills and all sing, producing rich vocal harmonies. The band is eminently able to fill a dance floor with high energy rock, soul and funk but can also pull together a first slot dedicated to classy background-oriented music, ideal for diners, etc.

All the band have been professional/semi-pro for years, with experience of performing not only in popular bands on the North East regional pub/club/corporate circuit, but some members have also been original recording artists and others have held long residencies in international hotels and on cruise ships.

Our setlist reflects our eclectic range of songs from the 60s through to the present: some artists whose music almost always features in our set include Amy Winehouse, Steely Dan, Brand New Heavies, Janis Joplin, Doobie Brothers, Eagles, Bob Marley, Pretenders, Santana, Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Wonder .
