Uncorked with Those Guys
Those Guys is a four piece band from Rockbridge County playing songs that reflect their diverse musical interest and range from rock and roll to country, blues to bluegrass, reggae, pop and more. The band shares vocal leads and weave two and three part harmonies into most of their arrangements. Scott Youngdahl writes many of the band’s songs and plays guitar, Amanda Baxter plays guitar and bass, and provides many of the lead vocals. Cochran Lyle is a talented multi-instrumentalist and spends a lot of the set alternating between pedal steel and mandolin, and Josh Elrod keeps time on drums and sings.
As a band, we try to make each performance special, and reflect the mood of the audience. Sometimes that means focusing on sweet vocal harmonies and soaring pedal steel solos, and other times people just want to get up and dance to a good groove. We want to meet the audience where they are and all have a great time together!
