Copperhead Road
Friday, May 30, 2008: 7 PM-8 PM & 9 PM-10 PM
Saturday, May 31, 2008: 2:30 PM-4 PM & 6:30 PM-8 PM
Sunday, June 1, 2008: 1 PM-2:30 PM & 3:30 PM-5 PM
Copperhead Road is a Premier Country Vocal and Southern
Rock Party Band performing Originals by Nashville Recording
Artist Amanda Nagurney and various country pop covers like
Little Big Town, Dixie Chicks, Martina McBride, Gretchen
Wilson and Miranda Lambert.
The signature of this band is definitely centered around the
Nashville Recording Artist Amanda Nagurney. Amanda has an
amazing vocal range from strong and dynamic to soft and
delicate. Amanda's non-verbal expressions definitely capture
the audience's attention. Sharing the front of the stage is
Sarah Baumgarden singing back-up vocals and some leads of
her own. When you combine the two, what you hear is amazingly
beautiful harmonies. But the vocals don't end there; we
expand the vocal harmonies to five voices when Percussionist
Keith Spurlock, Bassist Shpike McLean and Lead Guitar Joe
Childs kick in creating some of the richest quality in vocal
expression. If that's not enough to convince you to come out
and hear this band perform, we introduce you to Buffalo Hall
of Famer Jim Ehinger on the keyboards. This band is simply
a powerhouse!
