BACKHAND SALLY AWARDED ISSA AWARDS DUO OF THE YEAR-SILVER CATEGORY

Backhand Sally, Texas Rock/Americana duo, with Ginger Grace and Brock Hard, has been awarded the 2020 ISSA Awards  Duo of the Year Silver- Category. This was Backhand Sally's first year to be nominated and first award from the ISSA (International Singer-Songwriter Association). 

Please join us in congratulating Backhand Sally on this accomplishment. 

Based deep in the heart of Texas, the vivacious Dallas band Backhand Sally has served up a rich BBQ’d mix of country rock and Americana blended with a spicy sauce of traditional rhythm and blues for nearly a decade. 

Backhand Sally’s latest album, No Instructions, is overflowing with energetic and bold. The band’s epicenter is a rock-n-roll/Americana duo featuring Louisiana native and vocalist Ginger Grace and Texas-born and raised musician Brock Hard. 

The band’s music is propelled by Ginger's soulful, rock-inspired vocals backed by Brock's vintage style guitar. 

BHS has been called among the last of the ‘classic rock-n-rollers’, but their blend of country, soul, roots, Americana and blues influences, with scruffy vocals and sharp guitar riffs, stands out in a sea of music performers from the south.
