on Festival Republic Stage
Big 10-4,
the energetic modern rock band based out of Orlando, Florida have taken on the
challenge of winning over fans one by one. They have created a sound made for
arenas that grafts soaring guitars, lush melodies and seductive rhythms on top
of a narrative lyrical style that tells the stories of our lives. The ham radio
sign-off BIG 10-4 perfectly describes the group’s positive, upbeat vibe. The
daring word play and brain swelling melodies are what makes this band stand
out, making you realize that these are the soundtracks of your days and the
stories of you nights.
Having
signed with Universal/Republic Records, they released "Testing The
Atmosphere" in 2006, with Matt Wallace(Maroon 5, Faith No More), and hit
the road in support of regional radio play. Over the course of the past years
they've grown from college dives to 500 capacity sellouts in Orlando,
furthermore establishing a strong presence in the southeast.
Gaining
the respect of their peers and fans, the band has won numerous awards (Orlando
Sentinel band of the year) and opened up for many national acts (Something
Corporate, Jason Mraz, OAR, Sister Hazel, Sean Paul, Gin Blossoms, Better Than
Ezra, Cake, Seven Mary Three....). Big 10-4 has emerged from the studio with
their second album and first independent release, "Magazines and Movie
Screens," a compilation of the bands most powerful and organic collection
of songs to date. From the straightforward immediacy of "We've Been
Here" to the rythmic/rock of "Good Girl", singer/songwriter
Verduin has continued to evolve his heartfelt lyricism, combining it with the
bands most complete and soulful performances. The homegrown sound was developed
alongside producer Chril Gill (Shinedown), adding depth and experience to the
project.
Big
10-4's show is going back on the road looking to support the work they have
poured their lives into. They will be hitting the southeast in the fall of
2009. Big 10-4 is powered by Gibson Guitar.
