Very entertaining bunch of musicians! Nice variety of songs as each band member can sing!!! Fun banter…definitely got me up dancin’!
These guys can play! Fun time for sure!
The Backyard Poets played on the patio of the Metropolis Café on the back side of Main St Newmarket. What a fantastic time!!! Everyone was tapping their toes and singing along to familiar tunes! They sounded great and I would love to see them again!!
