Event Description
Tommy Miles, Christina Russo, Chris Retallack, Nathan Retallack, and Doug McClure
The Back 40 is an alternative country and rock band available for venues and events in Northern California and Western Nevada.
In mid-2008, multi-instrumentalist Tommy Miles got some friends together in Quincy, California to begin working on a new group originally envisioned as a classic and alternative country act with a repertoire based on the music of classic country artists like Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Buck Owens, Emmylou Harris, along with country-influenced rock and the music of new artists from the Austin music scene and other non-mainstream sources. The original lineup was seven musicians with two female vocalists among them. As the group has evolved, it has settled into a solid format that can perform electric and acoustic shows in several combinations of two to five musicians, bringing drums in for electric shows.
The band’s enjoyment and appreciation of the music, of each other, and of the audience is obvious and infectious, and the crowd gets to ride the wave of energy and fun that the band members experience every time they get together to play.
