      In the three short years since stomping onto the Capitaland music scene, the Flood Road boys, or FRB, to exuberant fans, have enjoyed a plethora of high-profile gigs in many of America's illustrious halls and hallowed venues. A snippet of the long and distinguished list: The Altamont Fair, Brown's Bewing Co., Saratoga's Parting Glass, Schenectady's Arthur's Market, The Moon & River Cafe, The Rosendale Street Festival, Troy's one and only River Street Beat Shop, The ABL Roundup, CDFM Strawberry Festival, Schenectady Harvest Festival, Muddy Cup, The Van Dyke, Uncle Ben's Tavern, Waterford Tugboat Roundup, The Lyons Lake Inn, etc., etc., etc. You get the picture. If you haven't seen FRB live, well, you haven't seen 'em live...better fix that shortcomin' lickity-split! After all, is you is, or is you ain't, our constituency??? Favorite band quotes: "World domination, one gig at a time.", and "We're on the cusp of Grandeur!" and "Homegrown music...east to enjoy...that's Flood Road!" As expected, FRB is a multi-media band. Aside from a bevy of beautious still photos, and coveted live performances, you can also enjoy the boys via literature, videos, and television. Who can forget their inspiring performance (41 seconds into the celluloid) for the prestigious "Art Night Schenectady" spot on SACC-TV Channel 16? Course, there's a pile of news article about the band co-hosting the 2009 Rhythm on the Ridge Music Festival at Maple Ski Ridge. Check out the Times Union news article about the event in Rotterdam, NY on June 13th, prominently listed here and here on CyberGrass, the mother-of-all bluegrass websites. Another dandy fest article on the NorthEast Country Music Association (NECMA) website too. Then there's a sweet article about the music fest that the Spotlight Newspaper reported as well. Or toe-tap to the boy's enjoyable video rendition of "Constant Sorrow" at the MSR Fall Festival, and The Professor's thought-provoking song, "Dirty Lunch Pail"? For the inquisitive minded, and to settle the swirl and angst surrounding the origin of the band's name, settled once and for all by J. Peter hisself, see the exclusive Crumb's Blog interview...and on and on goes the band's media exposure...  And lets not forget about the radio. FRB music is spinning internationally on fine broadcast FM and Internet radio stations, like WWB, WEBR, WEXT, WICR, WUSB, WVCR, WMUC, KDNK, KCRL, and AFC Radio. Thanks for the support! Whatever your favorite station happens to be, dial it in and make a Flood Road song request today! If FRB isn't in your station's rotation, tell 'em to add us! We's bonafide!
