Athens' The Corduroy Road release new LP tomorrow! ON TOUR NOW

“Fans of anything from country to bluegrass to folk rock will especially enjoy The Corduroy Road’s notoriously lively shows.” -Flagpole Magazine

The Corduroy Road is an Americana band from Athens, GA.

Comprised of Drew Carman (vocals, banjo, guitar, harmonica), Elijah NeeSmith (vocals, bass), Matt Dyson (banjo, guitar), Garrett Chism (drums), and Russell McCumber (fiddle) the band has been touring in some form since 2006.

In November of 2008, The Corduroy Road entered the studio of local legend John Keane (Widespread Panic, REM, BR549, Uncle Tupelo) to record their debut LP, Love Is a War, released in Summer 2009. After an exciting and fruitful year, the band releasedLive at the 40 Watt in 2010 as their first live album. It captured the raw live energy that the band has become known for.

Soon thereafter, the band decided to take a hiatus from touring in late 2010 and went through a few line-up changes. With these changes came the material that is embodied intheir latest release: Two Step Silhouette (June 2012.) The band’s lead singer, Drew Carman, calls it “The most genuine album we’ve ever done to date. It has only the instrumentation we tour with; the instruments we can fit in the van and play to people in a live setting. It also expresses songs that came from collaboration, input and teaching from every member of the band to one another. The songs were molded together by the whole, rather than the just guided by individual songwriter.”
