The Band Concord

Hailing from Southern Virginia, The Band Concord is comprised of gentlemen from all up and down the great state of Virginia. Spencer Pugh made the move from Salem to Blacksburg in the fall of 2012 and quickly bonded with his new neighbor Andrew Steger over a mutual love for all things folk. After countless nights of covering favorite classics, Pugh and Steger decided to try their hand at recording a few demos. Thanks to a make-shift recording studio in a friends apartment, the duo was able to lay down a few tracks with the basic guitar, banjo, and piano. After receiving a mandolin while back at his home in Northern Virginia for the winter, Steger expanded his instrumental repertoire, and the two decided to add a few more pieces to their project. Leesburg, VA native Alex Winemiller was brought in to play electric bass, but his talent for the double bass was quickly discovered and eventually added fullness to the bands sound. Having made the move from Virginia Beach, Jason Agola added a vibrant tone with his violin. Braden Burns, from Salem, VA, quickly found his way behind the drums, completing The Band Concord. The five-piece band debuted at Virginia Techs Soundfest in May of 2013. Since playing for hundreds of their peers, various pieces of The Band Concord puzzle have performed along the east coast, from restaurants and breweries to pavilions and festivals, and they do not plan on slowing down anytime soon.
