Local Traffic

Artist Information

Biography

Started in West Palm Beach, Fl. Moved to Gainesville area 19 years or so ago. We are a guitar driven Southern Rock Revue, not a tribute band, but true to form and very heavy.Our format is 5 piece:3 Lead Guitars,Bass,& Drums. We're well known for our live performances, and are well suited to headline, or the slot right before the headliners.
We play originals, and the best covers. We have more original music in the works. Our covers are true to form, and of an uncommon variety, with plenty of standards for those that don't know the "Deep Cuts".
We do big stages whenever we can, while bars and clubs keep our chops up . We've opened for Blackfoot three times. Also Molly Hatchet, the Charlie Daniels Band, Blacberry Smoke, the country band Heartland, and regional favorites Big Engine and SoulSwitch. We're the only band to play all four Starke FL Bikefests, and the Starke Fall Jam, and we've won 2 "battle of the bands" type events, one in Jacksonville FL, and the other in Dunnellon FL.

In the clubs we play regularly, we have a very good following and steady repeat business. We have finished in the top 10 several times on OurStage.com Southern Rock Channel. http://www.ourstage.com/profile/localtraffic

Setlist

We do shows ranging from evening bar/club shows spanning 4 hours (four 45's or two 90's) to 2 hour big stage shows. Our catalog currently includes 45 minutes or so of originals, which can be included or not, depending on what the promoter requires.

We try to pick covers that you don't hear everyone play, but are still easily recognized. In addition to Southern Rock, we've been known to play blues, hard rock, and whatever else we happen to be listening to at the time. As long as it rocks!!!
