The Story

Home-studio roots.Bar-stage volume.

The Bright Roads Band is a Virginia Beach classic rock outfit that grew out of a private home studio — the kind of place where a Tuesday night turns into a four-hour jam and a wall of guitars starts to make sense.

What began as one musician's personal rig has grown into a full live band built to fill a room.

The setlist runs from the Beatles and the Stones through Santana, CCR, and BTO — the songs that get a bar singing along by the second chorus. You'll find the band plugged in at taphouses and sports pubs along the Virginia Beach oceanfront, including regular sets at Froggie's Smoke & Taphouse and Footer's Sports Pub.
