About Us

Backstreets Unplugged has been a transformation of sorts.  The band evolved out of the "original" Backstreet Boys Band of the mid-1980's.  The Backstreet Boy's were known for their fun, high energy, Rock and Roll, Rhythm and Blues sound.  From Bobby Dale's to the Club Elderado the band was popular for it's "music you could sing with" style.

Backstreets Unplugged is a an acoustic version of the old Backstreet Boys.  Searching deep into their Folk roots and playing songs that influenced a generation you will hear performances of Elvis Presley's "Blue Moon of Kentucky," Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire," and classics such as "Like a Rolling Stone," "American Pie," and "The Weight".  Backstreets Unplugged covers a dynamic range of music from across the 50's, 60's, 70's, and 80's. Music that is sure to evoke memories of day's gone by, but music never to be forgotten.  We are sure of one thing, you will want to sing along and you will have fun!
