Friday Night!

Hailing from Southwest Missouri, Back Forty Band delivers a gritty, high-energy country rock sound rooted in the Ozarks. With a unique style that can only be described as Ozarks Outlaw Country, the band blends original music with crowd-favorite covers, creating live performances built on strong vocals, tight musicianship, and a connection that keeps fans engaged from start to finish.
Built on award-winning experience recognized at the JMAs held at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee, the Back Forty Band brings a polished yet hard-hitting presence to every stage.
With a dynamic lineup and a shared commitment to authentic, high-energy performances, Back Forty Band is carving out its own path—bringing a sound that hits hard, plays honest, and keeps crowds coming back for more.
