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 to the Stones through the Gin Blossoms, Doobie Brothers, Fleetwood Mac, and Brandi Carlile — the songs that get a bar singing along by the second chorus. You'll find the band plugged in at taphouses and pubs around Virginia Beach, including regular sets at Froggie's Smoke & Taphouse and Blue Pete's in Pungo.
