ABOUT

The Back Country Boys, a dynamic rockin’ country band, based in Southwest Florida, has been entertaining crowds locally and nationally for over 4 years. The band began in 2020, at a small high school in Southwest Florida. When the Coronavirus forced many students out of the classrooms, Michael Joyce and Brayden Reites decided to make effective use of their time and brought their musical talents together. 

Over the next several years, Joyce (Vocals & Guitar) and Reites (Drums) would be joined by current bandmates including Matt Byrne (Bass and Vocals), Vinnie Cilli (Lead Guitar), and others. Together they have played more than 400 shows, appearing multiple times on iconic stages including Chicago’s Joe’s on Weed, Carol’s Pub, and Bub City, as well as Fort Myers’ The Ranch, New Jersey’s Barefoot Country Music Festival, and more. They have shared stages as supporting artists for Jake Owen, Chris Janson, Eli Young Band, Parmalee, Ian Munsick, and more. Current originals include Magnolia, Wild Card (available May 9th), and more, available on all streaming platforms. The back Country boys can currently be found performing across florida, south carolina, michigan, and illinois, on their summer 2025' tour.
