Tobacco Road: http://www.tobaccordband.com

There is only one word that can describe the way Tobacco Rd came to fruition: fate. Singer and songwriter Eric Durrance was back in his hometown of Tallahassee from Nashville after a long run of touring and living the dream in the country music scene. It wasn't long before he met the girl of his dreams and got engaged. On the night of their engagement, his new fiancé wanted to show off her ring to a good friend, who happened to be dating Lex Vance. Lex saw Eric sitting in the car and decided to go out to say hi, since they had known each other from playing in different bands in Tallahassee years ago. They got to talking about music and the good old days and decided they should get together to jam. Less than a month later, they were playing their first show together as the Tobacco Rd Duo. After months of playing gigs as a duo, Tobacco Rd decided they wanted to expand to a full band. Eric had played with Joe Markham for a short while in a band called High Speed Rodeo and sought him out to play drums. They practiced for a while as a trio while looking for a bass player. After a few options didn't pan out, Lex decided to look up his old bassist from The Redwood Band and SRO, Aaron Halford. Aaron came out to one practice and they knew that Tobacco Rd had officially gone from the Tobacco Rd Duo to the Tobacco Rd Band. They played their first show as a band two weeks after that first practice together at the 17th Annual Crawfish Festival at PoBoy's in Downtown Tallahassee. After years of knowing each other and their abilities, it was finally the right time for all of these musicians to combine their talents and collaborate. Their years of combined music experience and friendship is the cement that will hold this new outlaw country band together to begin building the blocks of a whole new scene that Tallahassee has never seen before. "Stiff Drink", their first single, is currently blasting through the airwaves of local country radio station 103.1, The Wolf. They are taking this town by the horns, and then they will do the same to your town after that. Saddle up ya'll…it's gonna be a wild ride!
