Backburner

Backburner is an Americana Rock band with a rich history in songwriting. Backburner likes writing music. All songs started as originals.

Expect powerful vocal harmonies, dynamic acoustic and electric guitars, complemented by keys and a tight rhythm section. We sprinkle in some of our originals but balance this with the majority of our sets being cover songs. We do like to challenge our listeners a little by not playing the same songs you hear every other band out there playing. Yes, we do some of the same songs, but we like to mix

it up and add our own twist. Think of it like trying new foods....life would be boring if all you ate was burgers and fries. GO TO OUR WEBSITE BELOW TO HEAR SAMPLE LIVE CLIPS OF US!!!!!!!!!

🚨 New Music Alert! 🚨
After months of hard work, we have been releasing singles from our 6-song EP. A few songs have already dropped, and now, after badgering Ryan for a while, his first one — Idaho — is out. 🎸 He’s not just a killer writer, singer, and guitarist, but also an engineer and producer who made every track stronger. Big shoutout to Scott for locking the songs down with his tasteful bass lines.

🎧 Pro tip: crank it up on real speakers or headphones. Don’t let phone speakers rob you of the groove.

👉 Stream Idaho now on Spotify, Apple Music, or your favorite platform. Follow us on FB, IG, YouTube, or visit riotwagon.com.

🎤 Next show: 9/5 at Scooters in Raleigh — come hear it live!

Two of our biggest supporters at last weeks show. Camille - Eric’s wife who is at every show and let’s us practice in their home, and my son Dylan who has taken some photos at shows. Dylan is more of a Swifty and pop fan, but he goes easy on us!🤣
