"Big BackYard is a San Diego, California based Funk/Rock/Jam band that delivers just what that description reads. Founded by Lead Guitarist Derek Dossey and Drummer Kyle Turk in 2003, the BBY went through some personnel changes until the current lineup formulated. Keyboardist Adam Tierney joined the band in the summer of 2004 followed by guitarist and lead singer Trent Hancock in April 2005 and Bassist Chris O’Meally In October of that same year. The band finally had the consistency and mechanics in place and entered Capricorn Studios in November of 2005 to begin recording their first 5 song EP “Big BackYard”. “The Yard” was released on February 6th 2006. The test proved positive for Big Back Yard. In a very short time period, the track “Feel It” was chosen to be included in a compilation disc after being submitted to Sonic Bids thru tunetank.net . The disc will be submitted to the South by Southwest music convention in Mid March 2006 and potentially heard by somewhere in the neighborhood of 2000 music industry delegates.

Big BackYard’s music combines the elements of mid seventies Pop Funk with more of a current musical and vocal sound. Peppered with enthusiastic, mesmerizing jam sections, each track off the EP showcases individual talent as well as the bands ability to gel as one. Live performances of the same songs are often times extended to allow the audience to groove along."
