Biography
Goodroad was formed in 2005 with the recording of their debut album Lonely Trip. The various members each come from a vastly different musical background. Allen has gained most of his experience on the coffeehouse stage doing solo acoustic performances. Scott is a proud father of 3 who hasn't really had the opportunity to play in a group since moving to Sioux Falls from Green Bay, WI. Eldon is a very experienced guitar player whose main background is in the heavier side of music. Steve is an acclaimed guitar player from Sioux Falls with a guitar education from Guitar Institute of Technology in LA. Brett is a solid drummer with vast experience in and around the area. Each member of this group has had the opportunity to play in front of thousands of people on large stages. The love of music is apparent in each member of Goodroad. They have come together to form a new sound combining all of their various experiences to create, together, Goodroad.
The high energy stage show and the level of professionalism are what set Goodroad apart from other bands. Combinations of musical backgrounds also give Goodroad a unique sound unlike any in the area.
