The road from Fayetteville, AR to Lawton, OK has been long and winding for the members of Backroad Anthem, but when they hit the stage Friday night at Swiggs Still and Grill, 7401 NW Cache Road in Lawton, it's going to be well worth the trip.
One week after Backroad Anthem singer Craig Strickland was laid to rest, his band was back on the road talking about new music and their plans for 2016. The decision to carry on was easy, they say. Actually doing it? Not as easy.
Today our focus on Unsigned/Indy Artist Thursday is on a band from Arkansas, who recently suffered a major tragedy, losing their lead singer, but vowing to move on in his memory.
Craig Strickland, lead singer of the band Backroad Anthem, is still missing 36 hours after beginning an early morning hunting trip in Oklahoma with his friend Chase Morland. Morland's body was found Monday afternoon.
