FREE SHOW - NO COVERTake your art seriously, not yourself.
That’s the motto emerging blues-rock band Tobacco Road lives by - whether they’re on the road, in the studio, or practicing in their East Nashville garage. Playful, energetic, and equal parts modern and soulful, the band’s spirited personality turns a room full of strangers into a group of friends in minutes.
With a little central Texas spunk, old-school Louisiana blues, and roots in North Carolina’s Piedmont, the past lives of Tobacco Road’s members blend into a sound that moves seamlessly between beltable diary entries, Southern-rock storytelling, and indie-rock groove. They draw from the nostalgia of Creedence Clearwater Revival, the soul of Susan Tedeschi, and the dynamics of Fleetwood Mac, while taking cues from modern role models like Maggie Rogers and The Marcus King Band.
In their first year as a band, Tobacco Road released their six-song debut EP All in Time and shared the stage with rising contemporaries like Marlon Funaki, Winyah, and Liam St. John. Tobacco Road’s quick development stems from a live show that’s both high-energy and disarmingly intimate - despite the sweeping vocals and wailing solos, they make you feel like part of the band, whether it’s your first or fiftieth show.
The shifting moods of the band’s sound reflect the uniqueness of its members as five twenty-somethings learning to navigate love, loss, joy, confusion, and identity. Tobacco Road captures the chaos of growing up and the peace that comes with finding your people.
