"These Midwesterners brandish a raucous live show and inventive studio albums."
-Paste Magazine
Backyard returns for their annual “Warm Yourself By the Tire Fire” winter show with special guest opener Aaron Kelly. BTF’s music rings with crisp guitar tones, tight harmonies and pointed lyrics. Longtime musical cohorts Edward David Anderson and Scott Tipping create the core vibe with skillful guitar work. Anderson’s brother, Matt, plays bass with new guy John Ganser on drums.
Known for infectious melodies & memorable messages, the veteran midwestern rockers were darlings of radio stations like Chicago’s WXRT-FM in the early 2000s, touring the US relentlessly before going on hiatus in 2011. Grammy Award-winning producer Steve Berlin of Los Lobos produced their critically acclaimed album, “Good To Be” and is on board to work with the band again in 2026.
