The Band:
Brightside will entertain you with your favorite rock and alternative hits from the 80s, 90s, and today! Brightside plays classics from Pearl Jam, Sublime, Foo Fighters, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Matchbox 20, Green Day, The Killers, and many other great bands!
Sharing fun songs from the 90's and beyond brought 4 talented musicians (and Marshall) together in 2012 to form Brightside.
Based just north of Charlotte, NC the band has become a regional favorite. Three of the founding members remain in the band. Patrick on drums, Bryan on Lead Guitar, and Marshall playing Guitar and Keys. Y'ALL - Marshall is from the Roanoke area! All have enjoyed experiences with multiple groups over the last fifteen years, but consider Brightside their home.
