ROCKLAND ROAD

I have some friends from Nashville Tennessee that will be featured on the Leinie Bandshell stage called "Rockland Road." They are a family band; Mom and Dad and all 4 of their kids play instruments and have amazing vocals. You won't be sorry if you catch their show. You can see a video performance of Rockland Road below.
