J Peter Yakel, Niskayuna, NY
J. Peter Yakel & Flood Road hail from upstate New York, playing an original recipe of “Acoustic FolkGrass”: a blend of Americana, Bluegrass and Folk, with a pinch of Rock-n-Roll for seasoning. Their rootsy song mix cooks up a batch of memorable toe-tappers and eye-weepin' ballads as varied and unpredictable as the northeast seasons. Flood Road and Flood Road Band are both trademarked names, having first been trademarked by J.Peter Yakel in 2004.
The trio features Pete “The Treat” Murphy on bass, "Chief" J. Peter Yakel on guitar and vocals, and "Professor" Chris Schultz, our newest audio accomplice, on banjo. Homegrown music...easy to enjoy...that's Flood Road..
J. Peter Yakel & Flood Road is spinning on fine broadcast and Internet radio stations, like WWB, WEBR, WEXT, WICR, WUSB, WVCR, WMUC, KDNK, KCRL, and AFC Radio, to name a few. Thanks for the support!
