RIGGSBEE ROAD - BIO
Riggsbee Road is an all-female country and "new" grass band based in Raleigh, NC. Covering pop, country, and classic tunes with a big banjo sound and smooth vocal harmonies, this is one unique and powerful femme phenom.
Shelley Kelly, former lead singer with Huckleberry Blue, had a dream of creating an all-female project with a banjo signature and full three-part harmonies. Long-time friend and keyboardist Laura Schuchart signed on immediately with a similar vision. Next, Skye Pixton joined on banjo, bringing the third harmony and a fresh bluegrass twist, followed by two dynamo musicians -- Amy Hall on drums and Megan Maloney on bass. They are having a blast covering your favorite tunes in their unique style!
TESTIMONIALS
"If you are looking a band to entertain your guests whether it is a festival, wedding, or a backyard celebration, I highly recommend Riggsbee Road. This all-female band rocks it and brings high energy to your event! Recently, Riggsbee Road performed in Mount Olive, North Carolina at the Pickles, Pigs & Swigs Festival followed by the North Carolina Pickle Festival. Believe me, lead singer Shelly Kelly and her band are a BIG DILL! As an event planner, I seek bands that engage the audience and Riggsbee Road does just that. At both of their performances, festival attendees (and myself) were singing, toe tapping, hand clapping and dancing to the tunes. I RELISH Riggsbee Road, a band that encompasses pop, country, bluegrass, and classic tunes. Call Riggsbee Road now and get on their schedule. You will be DILLighted you did!"
~ Julie Beck, President, Mount Olive Area Chamber of Commerce/Chairperson, North Carolina Pickle Festival & Pickles, Pigs, & Swigs Festival
“Word on the street is y'all were the best band. I concur. ”
~ Alan Wells, Carolina Strawberry Festival organizer
"The ladies had a great time, and due to that, we were all drawn in also. We all had a great time. You have got to see the Riggsbee Road band. You will not be disappointed! It felt like they were having a party and we got invited! Can't wait to hear them again."
~ Footloose on the Neuse audience member
"I attended the show in New Bern on Sat, the 16th of Sept. I must say that I’ve been to all of the summer concerts and Riggsbee Road was the best show that has been presented in 2023. Please, be sure to get on the schedule for next Summer. Again, great show….., my wife & I loved it."
~ John Gardner
“I have enjoyed listening to you from our tent. We go to festivals pretty much every weekend and this is THE BEST band we've EVER HEARD! Y'all have a fan for life!”
~ Gennell Morgan, Crowned Blessings Wreaths
“Riggsbee Road vocals are pure magic. I love hearing those ladies sing every time. Shelley couldn't hit a wrong note if she tried. I wish I could sing as easy as she does. Man she is so freaking good if you listen to how she controls her vocals. She goes soft in spots but remains present to where I can hear the air. That's really hard to do. It's beautiful to hear.”
~ Jeremy Moss, Sound Production Engineer
"Y'all did it again. Yesterday was fabulous! We had the most fun in years! Riggsbee Road could be discovered and go big. The real deal. They've got IT."
~ Olin Sikes, Retired Radio DJ/Station Owner
