After the recording of their latest
album (B.F.L.—released w/ Equinox Empires Records), Blackbeard’s
Truck has been hard at work building a fan base across North Carolina,
South Carolina, and Georgia. With a sound that mixes ingredients from
classic rock, modern rock, blues and jazz, the band has created a bold
flavor that audiences are eating up everywhere.
A typical show for Blackbeard’s Truck
involves a variety of musical components sure to entice every member of the
audience. The band has built a solid repertoire of popular classic
rock songs along with a few country sing-a-longs that are guaranteed to please
any crowd. In addition to the covers, the band also mixes in their
original music to provide a vast span of music old and new. Shows
usually last between three and four hours, and with a knack for tuning into
crowd responses; Blackbeard’s Truck will keep the audience dancing through
the last song.
When Blackbeard’s Truck is not busy working
on new music, opening shows for nationally recognized bands, or headlining
festivities and charity events, the band can be found providing life to
various bars, clubs, and parties. The band has experienced a large
increase in demand from college fraternities and sororities, along with
other student organizations. This has provided exposure to many
different groups of people, many of which have become faithful followers
that travel to experience the different shows across the region.
Throughout the group’s many musical
adventures, they have produced two albums of original Music. The
first album, Fat Steve and Toadfrog Daddy
(1999), is a raw reflection of the groups
beginnings and an introduction to recording. The second album, B.F.L.
(2002), reflects a more polished sound along with matured lyrics and
music. Today, the band’s live sound is the best its
ever been; tight, clean, and innovative.
