Details:
The Ida Road Band started after James met Ed Burleson at a wedding and hired Ed to play what would later become the Tom Bean Fourth of July party, held at Jamesâ place just off Ida road every other year. After that party James and Ed became friends. Being around such talented musicians led James to decide that he too, wanted to learn the guitar and test his writing skills. Long time friends Mark and Chris would come out on the weekends to provide back up guitar and vocals, and the mini jam session would ensue through a tiny PA that James invested in. Deciding the music could use more depth of sound Chris bought a bass and began teaching himself. All that was left was finding a suitable drummer. After a few try outs Cliff was introduced and the band was formed. A song called âBuzzardsâ was a hit among some lifelong friends, and the first invitation to play a party was given, and gladly accepted. The guys in The Ida Road Band are still the same guys that started playing in that barn, only now they are a lot better at it.
