There’s a buzz in the air about this fantastic new band. Hailing from a secluded basement near Asheboro, NC, Concrete Evidence cannot cease adding the original songs to their constantly growing repertoire. These gentlemen are truly on a ride that does not seem to be stopping anytime soon! Initially formed as a cover band over two years ago, the guys immediately made two very important discoveries – first, they had a real knack for creating original music and secondly, they sounded better with one another than with any of their past musical endeavors. What kind of music do they play? Well, maybe it’s rock and roll, rockin’ country, classic rock or rhythm and blues. If you ask any of the guys in the band you won’t be able to get a straight answer. Whatever it is, people seem to like it! What’s more, they independently write, record and produce their own music. The band has its own original recipe for success that seems to be working for them so far. It starts out as simple but strong melodies written on the acoustic guitar by singer Ryan McLeod. Add harmonies, a solid bassline, tasteful lead guitar licks and intricate drums and you have the ingredients that make up a hearty four-course helping of homegrown tunes. Concrete Evidence has a unique chemistry that is easily heard in the melodic elegance of their music. Many of the songs are from personal experiences of pain, and joy and the everyday challenges life has in store. It does not stop there; they have some hard driving southern rock, country, outlaw and plain old fashion rock and roll. The music speaks to the heart at the most intimate moment and then will have you up on your feet dancing and kicking your heels. The band has released several internet singles on top radio sites like SuperCountryhits.com, IndieCharts.com, MP3.com and several others. The response has been overwhelming. Here are just a few quotes from DJ’s as well as fans and other musicians: “… I’ll be playing this on my FM stations soon, I just know it” – Blue Island, IL “… Where have the guys been hiding all my life?”- Harrison, IN “… damn good rockin’ country…” - Toledo, OH “… very smooth and rockin’, exceptional guitar work!” – Lenoir, NC “… sounds better than some of my all time favorite songs.” – Charlotte, NC “… I’m digging CE… I want more…” – Erie, PA “… loving the new CD, definitely Something Happening there…” - Austin, TX “Beautiful songs… and that silky smooth voice…” Pueblo, CO The song “Freedom’s Price” has recently held the #1 most requested spot for over 5 weeks and counting on the Indie Charts, as well as SuperCountryHits.com
Name: DAVID BALL
Hometown: LEXINGTON
Instrument: LEAD GUITAR

Fifteen years ago, if you asked Dave Ball how to evolve as a guitarist he’d probably tell you to practice your scales and study gobs of music theory. Well, that may have served him well in the early nineties playing in guitar-driven, progressive, hard rock bands. While he did make a local name for himself by blistering leads to the likes of Steve Vai, Queensryche and Eric Johnson, his true talent never scratched the surface. Some call it elegance or tastefulness, while others may say chic! Regardless, since Dave joined Concrete Evidence in 2005 he’s learned it’s not how many notes will fit in a song, but rather how gracefully he can fill the gap. Sure… the scales came in handy, but the real evolution of this guitarist came from meeting the members of Concrete Evidence.
