about Bryan Bach and the Crossroads
This 5-piece tempest straight is outta Tacoma, Washington. We’re not just a band; we’re a voodoo spell cast on your eardrums. Picture this: Robert Johnson meets BB King at a crossroads, and they jam with Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Prince. The result? Timeless albums that’ll haunt your dreams and unforgettable performances that’ll make your heart ache.
When that guitar cranks, it’s like lightning striking a juke joint. The crowd sways, the whiskey flow, and the devil himself taps his foot. The music? It’s the soundtrack to a midnight blues deal, where souls are traded for riffs and redemption is found in every chord change.
So grab your hat, stomp your boots, and let Bryan Bach & The Crossroads take you on a wild ride through the sweaty heart of blues rock. 🎶🔥
MEET THE BAND:
Bryan Bach, our unbridled maestro, stands at the crossroads of music, a 20-year veteran of gritty stages and smoky dives. He’s the architect of our soulful symphony, wielding lead vocals and guitar like a storm-chaser. But that’s just the tip of his blues iceberg—Bach pounds the bass, drives the drums, and tickles the ivories with a devilish grin. Banjo? Sax? Hell, he’ll play 'em all, and then some. And when the studio calls, he engineers magic, weaving sound and vision into a sonic tapestry that leaves jaws dropped and eardrums begging for more.
🔊 Cody Hatch, our bass sorcerer, lays down riffs that rumble the earth. He’s the guy who sleeps with his bass, dreams in low frequencies, and wakes up ready to shake the foundations. Perfection? It’s his middle name. Whether recording or live, Hatch’s basslines are the heartbeat of our blues, a pulse you can feel in your bones.
🎶 Steven Ingalls, the time-traveling guitarist, has been with us since the dawn of the Crossroads. Five years deep, he’s tied to Bryan Bach like blood brothers. His strings tell stories—of dusty highways, midnight rendezvous, and whiskey-soaked redemption. Ingalls adds layers, bends notes, and conjures electric storms that electrify our souls.
💃 Samantha Raine Bach, our social media siren, doesn’t just sing backup—she commands the crowd. Her hips sway, her voice soars, and the audience leans in, hungry for more. Behind the scenes, she’s the digital sorceress, casting spells on our social accounts, turning likes into love, and making sure the world knows: Bryan Bach & The Crossroads are here to ignite the night. 🌟🔥
Dave Snotherman is the newest addition to the Crossroads Clan, he savagely commands the drums, each strike resonating like thunder, leaving no doubt that he is a seasoned maestro in the art of percussion. The skins tremble under his relentless assault, yielding rhythm and fury in equal measure.
