The Tobacco Road Band
The Tobacco Road Band is privileged to be able to open the 2021 Virginia Lake Festival! Plus, we will be joined on stage by, Grammy Award Winning, Mary Frances Lee – Mama Funk (www.bootyband.com)
The Tobacco Road Band consists of four Southside Virginia musicians with roots deep in the soil, mining the music of our generation. Lead by Ronnie Newcomb (Bass & Vocals) this group is the result of years of musical collaboration. Most of the members have played together for decades. Rounding out the lineup is Barry Hughes (Drums), Bill Baker (Guitar) and our newest member Kevin Allgood (Guitar & Vocals).
Their music blends old soul & blues, country and some good southern Rock & roll to give an audience’s the rhythms and lyrics sure to bring a smile. The band is always pleased when their show turns into a full scale sing-a-long as they play the favorites of the time. In fact, most of our audiences know the lyrics better than the band does! The Tobacco Road Band lives by its motto “Music that will make you move!
WARNING! The surgeon general has determined that continuous enjoyment of this music will result in uncontrollable movement of the hips, feet and lower extremities. In most cases, symptoms often include a better attitude, smiling faces and an overall reconciliation of the day’s events into a feeling of happiness. In rare occasions, overwhelming joy has occurred. ENJOY OFTEN WITH RECKLESS ABANDONMENT!
