After much strategic planning, high-level negotiations, communication breakdowns, technical difficulties, detours, u-turns, and other stuff, the brand spanking new-and-improved Waybacks website has been launched!

The much-rumored, never-before-seen Waybacks Machine has been let loose from the basement laboratory and can now be found pictured on our home page in all its high-tech glory. This is where the music comes from, people, believe it or not.

Our cool little Media Player will offer audio and video content from a variety of sources for your listening and viewing pleasure and we'll regularly be updating it with new tunes, vintage performances, and other dazzling feats of prestidigitation.

Our Photo Gallery will house a broad sampling of the band doing what they do, onstage and off.

Our remodeled Mercantile and Boutique will be stocked with a vast array of melodies and merchandise designed to enhance your daily life.

All this and more!

We invite you to stay awhile, push buttons, click links, explore and discover, and return frequently!

The Waybacks In Charlottesville

"STICKY FINGERS" BY THE ROLLING STONES! The Waybacks performed the entire classic Stones album "Sticky Fingers" with the help of Emmylou Harris, John Cowan, Sam Bush, Rob Ickes, and Byron House. What a party! Check out "Wild Horses" with Emmylou Harris on YouTube! Many other clips up on YouTube as well...

Last year it was Led Zep II, performed in its entirety with an all-star cast including John Cowan, Pete Wernick, Byron House... Check out a JamBase review of Merlefest '08 with a feature on our Zep set.

Selected live shows surreptitiously recorded by the band. Volumes 1-3 are available NOW! These are entire shows, brought to you in either glorious full-resolution audio on good old-fashioned CDs or downloadable high quality (192kbps) mp3 format, for use with iTunes, iPods, etc. There is no copy protection on these mp3 files, so you can freely copy them wherever you want, easily burn CDs, whatever. But please, please, please don't post them to music-sharing sites... this is how we make a living, folks!
- Free sample download track of us covering the James Brown classic "There Must Be A Reason," featuring our pal, the extraordinarily-talented Danny Barnes on banjo. Enjoy!

The Americana Music Association's Top 100 albums for 2008 are in, and we are honored to be listed. Big thanks to the AMA for its continued support of so many of our friends and heroes.
